New Testament Overview

DAY 29 OF 105

In this very significant passage, Jesus teaches that the shedding of his blood institutes the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31f) through which man's relationship with God can be restored. This Covenant is the fulfilment of the covenant promises made to Abraham (Genesis 12:3).

Remember that 'Old Covenant' refers to the Covenant with Israel through Moses (Mosaic Covenant), summarised in the 10 Commandments.

After reading the passage, use these questions as the basis for your discussion.

1. What stood out for you / what was interesting and why? (The Holy Spirit’s prompting)

2. What was the passage about / the main message / big idea? (The Word of God)

3. What should we do / how can we apply this message? (Faith in Action)

About this Plan

New Testament Overview

This plan is designed for families (our girls were under 10 when we used it), but can also be used for personal devotion. Each day, the same three questions are used to explore the text. It provides a comprehensive "bird's eye view" of the New Testament; the aim is understanding the fulfilment of God's covenant as promised to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) and prophesied by Jeremiah (31:31).
