Sermon Illustrations

Think about the three-dimensional drawings of the human body that can be found in encyclopedias and school books. The bottom picture is simply a picture of a skeleton. The next page is drawn on clear plastic and might have a picture of the intestines. As you turn the page it fits into place so that you can see where they should be sitting in the human body. After that you might have the circulatory system or the muscles. Eventually you end up with a complete picture of the human body. The Old Testament is like that first page. It tells part of the story, but until we look at it together with the New Testament we might only see the skeleton instead of the whole body.
