Old and New Gems of Truth
“Then he added, “Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.”” (Matthew 13:52 NLT)
In the light of the New Covenant of Gospel, we can understand the true meanings of the Old Testament Scriptures.
Thanks to having the new gems of truth from the New Testament, we can also receive the old gems of truth from the Old Testament. Most of the gems, new and old, are about our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27 WEB)
On the road to Emmaus, Jesus expounded the Old Testament Scriptures to Cleopas and the other disciple. He said that these Scriptures are actually concerning Himself.
Without the revelation of the New Covenant of Grace, the old gems of truth from the Old Testament are like buried treasure—they are valuable but hidden; we are unable to see their true sparkling beauty.
The new gems of truth from the New Testament act like a treasure map that shows us how to find the old gems of truth. Through them, you will understand the beautiful revelations about Jesus in the Old Testament!
