And It Is Often Not What You Thought

“An exercise that could be very helpful to pastors in accomplishing this mindset is one that was instrumental in helping me shake loose of many of the unbiblical doctrinal assumptions I had picked up over the years . . . The thing to do is fix the problem yourself with marker pens. Look up every place in the Old Testament which is quoted in the New and mark it with a highlighter. Then off in the margin write down the New Testament reference where it is quote. When this is done, read through the Old Testament, and you will continually reminded that the New Testament contains authoritative teaching on the marked Old Testament passages. For example, when you come to Psalm 2, you are reminded at once that there is teaching on what this psalm means in multiple places in the New Testament” (A Primer on Worship and Reformation, p. 49).
