BIBLE IN A YEAR- NT Overview
ORIGIN AND MEANING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
New Testament (Covenant or Agreement), refers to a new arrangement made by one party into which others could enter if they accepted the covenant. Thus, the New Testament (Jer. 31:31, 1 Cor. 11:25), describes the new arrangement of God with men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation who will accept salvation based on faith in Christ.
Centers on:
1) The Person who gave Himself for the remission of sins (Matt. 26:28).
2) The People (church) who have received His salvation.
DIVINE PREPARATION FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT
-Preparation through aCommon People, the Jewish Nation (Gal. 3:8; Rom. 9:5)
-Preparation through a Common Language, Greek(Matt. 18:19-20)
-Preparation through a Common Government, the Romans (Mark 1:14-15)
THE RELIGIOUS WORLD AT THE TIME OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Pharisees:Mostly middle-class businessmen, and therefore were in contact with the common man. They were held in much higher esteem by the common man than the other group. Though they were a minority in the Sanhedrin and held a minority number of positions as priests, they seemed to control the decision making of the Sanhedrin far more than the other group did, again because they had the support of the people.
(
Sadducees:During the time of Christ and the New Testament era, they were aristocrats. They tended to be wealthy and held powerful positions, including that of chief priests and high priest, and they held most of the 70 seats of the ruling council called the Sanhedrin. They seemed to be more concerned with politics than religion.
