Shadows of Scripture, 08/22/82

Summary

The sermon explores the spiritual significance of shadows in Scripture, illustrating how natural shadows symbolize God's protective presence over His people. It emphasizes the Old Testament as a shadow of the New Testament realities, particularly focusing on the Passover as a shadow of Christ's sacrifice and the first fruits as a symbol of Christ's resurrection. The preacher stresses the importance of resting in the finished work of Christ and worshiping on the Lord's Day, the first day of the week, contrasting it with Old Testament practices. The message warns against attempting to worship God using Old Testament shadows rather than the substance found in Christ.
