Christ In The Old Testament
Lesson IV
Types of Christ

Jesus Christ can be seen through several Old Testament people called types. A type is “a person or thing symbolizing or exemplifying the ideal or defining characteristics of something.” This study focuses on people who represent Christ. Again, we do not want to force or strain the comparison or try and take the comparison too far. Types are to supplement and not to be primary sources of doctrine.
