Hebrews 3:5
Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.
The Old Testament was given to present God's plan; the people and events recorded there form a picture of what God would accomplish. The New Testament records the fulfillment of all that was presented before. Moses struck the rock in the desert and water poured out to nourish all the people, and Jesus is that Water of Life that He gives us in His Spirit that wells up in us as His fountain. The sacrifices were given to illustrate that Jesus is the Sacrificial Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
Every Old Testament story pictures a clear Truth that is revealed in the New Testament. If we ignore any part of it, we diminish the picture of His Plan. If we add to it, we would distort that picture, making it deceptive. His Truth is true!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
