The Gospel Didn't Start in Matthew. It Started in Genesis.

In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve sin. G-d covers their shame with animal skins.

The first sacrifice. The first covering. The first hint of the Gospel.

The Good News didn't show up in the New Testament.

It was planted in Genesis. Watered through the Torah. And bloomed in Yeshua.

The Passover Lamb

Exodus 12: A lamb dies so the firstborn can live.

Its blood marks the doorposts. Death passes over.

Sound familiar?

Yeshua is called "the Lamb of G-d who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

The Gospel was in the Exodus story all along.

The Binding of Isaac

Genesis 22: Abraham is told to sacrifice his son. At the last second, G-d provides a ram.

A substitute. An innocent one dies in place of the guilty.

Centuries later, G-d would do the same thing. Only this time, He wouldn't stop the sacrifice.

He would offer His own Son.

The Gospel was foreshadowed on Mount Moriah.

Isaiah 53: The Suffering Servant

700 years before Yeshua, Isaiah wrote:

"He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities... and by His wounds we are healed."

That's the Gospel. Word for word. In the Hebrew Bible.

The Good News Isn't Foreign

It's not a Greek idea. It's not a Gentile invention.

It's Jewish. Rooted in the Torah. Prophesied in the Tanakh. Fulfilled in Yeshua.

The Gospel didn't start in Matthew.

It started in Genesis, and it's been unfolding ever since.
