“Jesus Christ is both the purpose of our focus and the
intent of our destination. To help us to remain fixed and heading in the right
direction, the Savior invites us to see our lives through Him in order to see
more of Him in our lives. I’ve come to learn more about this specific
invitation through my study of the Old Testament. The law of Moses was given to
the early Israelites as a preparatory gospel, designed to ready the people for
a higher covenant relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The law, rich
with symbolism pointing believers to look forward to the coming and Atonement
of Jesus Christ, was meant to help the people of Israel focus on the Savior by
practicing faith in Him, His sacrifice, and His laws and commandments in their
lives—it was intended to bring them to a greater understanding of their
Redeemer.” – Tracy Y. Browning
