Christ Fulfills the Old Testament

http://bibletidbits.blogspot.com/2009/09/dans-top-10-bible-tidbits-in-minute.html

An interesting blog I found posted this about Our Lord:

In Leviticus 21:10 it says that the high priest is not allowed to tear his garments. (You know in the OT whenever they heard band news they were always tearing their garments and putting dirt on their head)
Well, while Jesus was on trial before the High Priest Caiphas, Jesus admits that he is the Christ and Caiphas the high priest tears his own robes breaking the law in Leviticus 21. But notice something else - in John 19:23 when they are dividing Jesus’ garments (which was a seamless garment, what a priest would where when offering sacrifice). Instead of tearing them they decide to draw lots for them, and his cloths do not get torn showing that Jesus is the new High Priest.


I am familiar with many of the other points in the list Daniel Egan makes, but this one was new to me. Perfect! I love this little gem.
