If Jesus trusted the Old Testament as the Word of God… should we?

In this episode of The Hall Hotline, we explore how Jesus viewed Scripture—not as outdated tradition, but as living truth that pointed directly to Him. From Genesis to Malachi, the story was already preparing the way for Christ.

Episode Summary

Many people today wonder how the Old Testament fits into the Christian life. But Jesus quoted it, taught from it, fulfilled it, and affirmed its authority. If we trust Jesus, we can trust the Scriptures He trusted.

This episode explores the 400 silent years between Malachi and Christ, the unity of the Bible’s message, and how the Old Testament reveals the Savior from the very beginning.

Key Themes

• Jesus affirmed the authority of Scripture
• The Old Testament points forward to Christ
