Reveal Thy face, that we may be saved
The Old Testament is a living gateway to God’s love. Its books speak to the heart of God’s people, telling the story of creation and the fall, promise and covenant, exile and return - all leading to the saving work of Christ.
The burning bush, the Passover lamb, the Exodus, and the voices of the prophets all lead us to the Crucified and Risen Lord, who "opened the Scriptures" for His disciples and set their hearts ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:27).
Abraham’s trust, Moses' obedience, David’s repentance, the prophets' courage, and Israel’s hope anchor us in faithfulness. These stories are signposts pointing to Christ and to the healing of our souls.
So when we pick up the Old Testament, our prayer becomes the cry of the Psalms: "Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Reveal Thy face, that we may be saved" (Psalms 26:8; 79:4).
~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN
