Extraordinary
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
The Old and New Testaments are not ordinary books—they are extraordinary. They are not natural works—they are supernatural. Together, these two testaments complete the Word of God. They do not contain Truth, they are Truth, and everything spoken in them perfectly reveals what God wants us to know about Himself and His purpose for our lives.

The
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are not just words written on paper,
they are love words spoken from the heart of God, and they are living words
breathed by the Spirit of God. The Scriptures can bring hope, produce faith,
and change lives. They are bread that nourishes the hungry, a map that guides
the seeker, a rock that establishes the believer, and a light that illumines the
path for those who walk in God’s ways.
It has been said that the New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, and that in the New Testament the Old Testament is revealed. In the Old we see the beginning of all things, in the New we see the end of all things. In the Old we see types and shadows, in the New we see substance and fulfillment. In the Old we see Mt. Sinai, in the New we see Mt. Calvary. In the Old we see the letter, in the New we see the Spirit. In the Old we hear the voice of the prophets, in the New we hear the voice of The Son.
Together,
the books tell one story. It is His story. It is the story of redemption
revealed in time and space, through real people and actual events. It is the
story of The Redeemer and the redeemed.
Jesus is the establisher of the law and the fulfiller of the Law, He is the message of prophecy and the fulfillment of prophecy, He is the promised sin bearer and the One who gave His life for our sins.
In
Jesus Christ the Old and New Testaments are like two musical movements that
come together to make one glorious symphony…they are like the two lenses on a
pair of binoculars that bring God’s image close and into focus…they are like
the flame of two burning candles that come together to make one glorious light.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other (Psalm 85:10).

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy name, O Lord God of hosts (Jeremiah 15:16).
