DEI VERBUM , 1965 |
Part 2 of The Message is the New Testament
(today often called the Second Testament)
In the New Testament
God’s plan of salvation for the human family
is explained most clearly
No more prophets speaking on behalf of God.
In the NT God himself does the speaking,
in the person of Jesus, the Word-made-flesh
The 4 Gospels are the the
heart of The Message,
recording and explaining the teaching and life of Jesus
The other books of the NT
record how the first Christians put Jesus’ teaching into practice
and spread The Message to many places
Jesus, may I drink from the
waters of the New Testament
every day of my life
