In today’s episode, we explore the importance of the Old Testament and how it lays the foundation for understanding the New Testament. The stories, prophecies, and lessons of the Old Testament are essential for making sense of the life and teachings of Jesus. Without the accounts of old, the New Testament would lose much of its depth and meaning. Join Fr. Rico as he unpacks how the Old Testament connects us to God’s greater plan and prepares the way for the Good News.
