He rather means that all of Scripture (thus the OT) points to Christ. If you don't know the OT well and deeply, you will never understand the NT that you are spending so much time in. Don't neglect all of God's revelatory Word of Christ.

RJ,

I personally take the view that 90% of my study of Scripture is in the New Testament and most of that is in the Gospels. It seems that many today spend too much time and efforts in the Old Testament. This is kind of like going to a US history class and spending most of the time studying British history. There are also many today who seem to want to jump from His birth to the cross and skip the 33 years he spent teaching us how to live. We all have some basic lessons we need to learn when studying theolgy. I certainly agree that all Scripture must be Christ-centered and that many churches today don’t seem to understand that.
