Unfolding Intro-Timothy Brindle

This is The Unfolding This is The Unfolding This is The Unfolding Written with the goal that you become gripped by the Scriptures you are holding This is The Unfolding, written with the goal that you become gripped by the Scriptures you are holding Whether preaching or getting in devotions, the glory of Christ is the picture you're beholding! May the depths of the riches of His excellent Scriptures Give you a sense that you're swimming in His Ocean I know you get that you are chosen But I pray you'll flip through the Old Testament Scriptures to Know Him! "The unfolding of the Old Testament in the New (Testament), the New unfolds what really is the Old Testament!" So the purpose of this album Is to trace Old Testament themes to see how God's working out their outcome (how they) find their fulfillment in Christ and His people The Old Testament's the preview like it's a prequel And of course Westminster served this Double album's particular purpose By teaching me tools like Greek and Hebrew and Hermeneutics for in-depth Scriptural searches It enriched my family—strengthened our worship But as I spent five years digging in verses, the deeper I dug into the Riches of Christ The more I realized that I'm just skimming the surface! Its (Scripture's) organic unity starts like an acorn That through redemptive history grows as it takes form By the end it's a full-blooming oak tree revealing the glory of the Crucified and Raised Lord The New Testament writers assumed these assumptions: The OT has Christ-centered truth in abundance It's important you see this: They use Old Testament language to paint inspired portraits of Jesus Because ultimately the Scriptures are One Scroll That through progressive revelation it unfolds Thus the Old Testament, and of course the New Is Christ's story, and since we're in Him, it's our story too! The New Testament writers would ground what they wrote In Old Testament allusions with thousands of quotes And what I've found is so dope: Each of these themes are like strands that are tightly bound in a rope So Jesus Christ "ties it all together" The High Exalted treasure, whom we'll magnify forever So as we're done beholding His unfolding story May we see it's all about the Son's Holy Glory!
