In his sermon titled 'Scripture's Testimony,' David Green emphasizes the role of the Old Testament scriptures as a testimony to the resurrection of Jesus. He highlights that figures from the New Testament, including Jesus, Peter, Paul, and Philip, frequently quoted or referred to passages from the Old Testament. This repetition underscores the continuity and support the Old Testament provides to the resurrection narrative, demonstrating its foundational role in the teachings of the New Testament.
The scriptures, even the Old Testament scriptures are a testimony to the fact of our Lord's resurrection. Jesus, Peter, Paul, Philip, all of these men of the New Testament and all the others, they quoted from or referred to Old Testament passage over and over and over again.
