Excerpt from The Bible Readers Commentary, Vol. 1 of 2 Tan term New Testament unquestionably proceeds from the institution of the Lord's Sup per. The Lord designates the Eucharist the New Covenant in his blood, in the strict sense of the term. The writings which record the foundation of this new and eternal covenant are themselves called the New Covenant, the New Testament. This designation, also, indicates the connection and the contrast between these writings and those of the Old Covenant. The universal character of the New or Christian Covenant as compared with the old or Jewish is indicated by the language in which each is expressed. The Greek of the New Testament was the universal language of the civilized world, while the Hebrew of the Old was the peculiar dialect of the chosen race. Lange. The New Testament begins with the person of Christ, the facts of his manifestation in the ¿esh, and the words he gave from his Father, and accustoms us by degrees to behold his glory, to discern the drift of his teaching, and to expect the consequences of his work. It passes on to his body the Church, and Opens the dispensation of the Spirit, and carries us into the life of his people, down into the secret places of their hearts, and there translates the announcements of God into the experiences of man, and discovers a conversation in heaven and a life with Christ in God. It works out practical applications, is careful in the details of duty, provides for difficulties and perplexities, suggests the order of churches, and throws up barriers against the wiles of the devil. It shows us things to come, the course of the spiritual con¿ict, the close of this transient scene, the coming of the Lord, the resurrection of the dead, the eternal judgment, the new creation, and the life everlasting.
