"[T]he central message of the Old Testament is Jesus: specifically the sufferings of Christ and the glories that follow--both the glorious resurrection of Christ and the glorious inheritance that he has won for all of his people. Certainly, understanding this gospel should lead to a new morality in the lives of believers. It should motivate and empower us to seek to meet the needs of the lost and broken world around us and should engage our passion for the new heavens and the new earth that will be realized when Christ returns. But the heart of the message of the Old Testament is a witness to Christ, which centers on his suffering and glory, his death and resurrection" (Iain H. Duguid, Is Jesus in the Old Testament, 11).
