1 | Same question | John 1:1 | jlhetrick | 211801 | ||
I'll offer a thought that may or may not address your question in a helpful way. Is there too much focus on the death of Christ when trying to understand this? The death of Christ is in no way the fullness of the gospel nor is it the fullness of the New Covenenant. The so-called New Testament books are the record of what the OT foretold. In focusing solely on Christ's death we leave out the virgin birth (showing Him God) the sinless life (affirming Him blameless, spotless, able to satisfy God's justice) and then the resurrection and ascension. On the cross Christ did not say something to the effect that "with this last breat it has started" (as in the start or beginning of the NT). He said, "it is finished". The promise of the NT may have been fully realized at that point, but the entire truth, beginning with the virgin birth, was the New Covenant given as promised. Great question leading to serious thinking. My answer may be totally inadequate though. God bless, Jeff |
