Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Abraham who answered the call of God to leave all that comfortable & familiar & to go out into the void knowing that He was going to create a new people of God.
Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Isaac who is not just offered up by the Father on the Mount but who was truly sacrificed for us.
Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Jacob who wrestled & took the blow of justice we deserved, so that we like Jacob, only receive the wounds of grace to wake us up & discipline us.
Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Joseph who at the right hand of the King forgives those who betrayed Him & sold Him, and uses His power to save them.
Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Moses who stands in the gap between the people & the LORD & mediates a new covenant.
Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Job, that truly innocent sufferer who then intercedes for us & saves His stupid friends.

Jesus Is The True And Better . . . Prophet, Priest, Sacrifice, Lamb, Light, King, Temple, Bread, Way . . .
