The Bible says that Jesus created everything that was made, including people and the world in which we live. We are spiritual beings, created in the image of God, and it was intended for us to live with God and be in relationship with Him forever. Man's sin has spiritually separated us from Him and broken our relationship with Him. "A Shadow of Good Things to Come" is a summarized biblical story of the Old Testament that tells about God's plan to rescue us and bring us back into that relationship with Him.

God's redemptive story revolves around a group of people that He called out of a pagan land of idol worshipers. He called them and set them apart from all other nations to be His chosen ones and the earthly ancestors of the coming Christ, the coming King. He taught them right from wrong, fought battles for them, and worked powerful miracles for them. He also gave them land and an everlasting covenant with Him. They severely stumbled and fell along the way, but became His "remnant of faith" that would eventually usher in King Jesus.

The Old Testament portrays Jesus within its pages through prophecies and symbolism. These things pointed the way to Him and His sacrificial life, death, and resurrection, which are found in the New Testament. God gave them to us ahead of time so that when they came to pass, we would believe. They were a shadow of what was coming. The stories and scriptures on the pages inspire us to believe in a faithful God Who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
