When you read the New Testament in light of the Old, and the Old as fulfilled in the New, then you discover that Jesus wasn’t going about just establishing novelties. It wasn’t all innovation. It was fulfillment and transformation of the Passover of the Old into the Eucharist of the New, circumcision of the Old becomes Baptism in the New, and that cleanses us far more. Gradually I began to open my mind and, even a little bit, my heart to the possibility that maybe the New Testament is built upon the Old more than I reckoned on. |
