44 ”The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 ”Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, 46 and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:44-46 NASB)
The correct way to understand Sacred Scripture is that the
Old Testament contains the “old” promises of the Messiah and the
fulfillment of His Kingdom while the New Testament is the “new”
revelation from Jesus and His Apostles, which reveal to us how the “old”
promises are fulfilled in Him. The New Testament explains the Old
Testament, not the other way around.
51 ”Have you understood all these things?” They *said to Him, “Yes.” 52 And Jesus said to them, ”Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” (Matthew 13:51-52 NASB) Continue at Mike Ratliff
