Final Reflections
Jesus Is the New Covenant
Sacred Scripture: A Catholic Study of Gods Word
Part 2d New Testament Review
Jesus Christ is the New Covenant
1. The heart of the New Testament, in fact all of Scripture, is the Gospels
2. The New Testament is central to our knowledge of Jesus Christ, and he is the focus of all Scripture
3. Jesus Christ:
fulfilled the Law of the Old Testament
by giving a New Law of love
taught us that Gods covenant love
extends to all people everywhere
Sacred Scripture: A Catholic Study of Gods Word
Part 2d New Testament Review
Jesus Christ it the New Covenant
3. Jesus Christ:
showed that God was actively present in the world
through his words and actions
proclaimed the coming of Gods reign and showed
that the Kingdom of God was alive in the world
reveals himself as the fulfillment of the prophets
hope for a ServantMessiah
is Gods New Covenant, signed and sealed in the
events of the Paschal Mystery, the ultimate
expression of Gods fidelity to the covenant
