In this message from Rev. Dr. Samuel Gatukui Ndungu, "David as a type of Jesus Christ; Jesus wept," we find a number of striking similarities between David's weeping at the mount of Olives in 2 Samuel 15:30 and Jesus weeping over Jerusalem in Luke 19:14. Both events demonstrated the human experience of grief and the consequences of sin. Jesus is God's anointed king, and like David, Jesus was betrayed by those closest to Him. David was Israel's greatest king, and Israel became dissatisfied with him and let a wicked, immoral man, David's own son, Absalom, steal their hearts. Absalom committed treason under the guise of worship.

In this episode, "Joseph as a type of Jesus Christ: Into the Pit," we see Joseph as one person in the Old Testament who foreshadowed the life of our Lord Jesus Christ the most. The narratives parallel key aspects, including being falsely accused and betrayed by family members. Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers, mirroring Jesus betrayal by Judas Iscariot; both were sold at the price of a slave and were made slaves. Joseph and Jesus both ultimately rose to power, where they were able to save many People. Even though Joseph's brothers intended evil, God used their actions to bring about greater good, demonstrating God's ultimate control over events, just as He did after the jews crucified Jesus.

"Moses as a type of Jesus Christ; the Deliverer" shows that Moses's life foreshadowed the life of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Deliverer. God spoke to Moses from a burning bush and told him to save His people. Moses, seeing the oppression of his own people, gave up his position and honor on the Egyptian throne to associate himself with his Hebrew brothers. Jesus did the same for us! Jesus, like Moses wanted to Deliver His people, and that meant being like them. His love for us led Him to give up His position over the throne of the entire universe and He was made a man.

There are a number of striking and significant parallels between Isaac and Jesus that demonstrate that Isaac was a type of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. Paul wrote, "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac. Abraham believed that if he sacrificed his son, Isaac, God would raise him from the dead, "accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead. He, however, did not know that in his mysterious event, God was telling another story through Isaac. He was telling a story of how God Himself would give his one and only son, Jesus Christ, as a sacrifice, "The Lamb of God," for the atonement of the sins of humanity. Presented by Rev. Dr. Samuel Ndungu.
