🫵 Make it practical with the ‘Your turn’ activity on page 14 of our latest workbook.
The New Testament is like a storybook that tells about Jesus and the early Christians. It has 27 books, and they’re all about Jesus’ life, His teachings, and how His followers started spreading the Good News message. The stories in the first four books in this section of our Bible are like a memory box or photo album about the life of Jesus. Each story adds more detail to how Jesus is remembered.
The New Testament also introduces the Holy Spirit. We learn that God is present with us every day, just like how Jesus walked the earth. So, the big message of the New Testament is that God is with us.
📌 The Old Testament points to Jesus, and the New Testament reveals Jesus!
🙏Prayer: Lord, may the teachings of the New Testament fill my heart and guide my actions today. Help me to be bold in sharing Your love with others and to live a life that reflects Your grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
