Comments on: Is the Old Testament Irrelevant? http://www.mattglover.com/wordpress/wordpress/2005/10/11/is-the-old-testament-irrelevant/ Thoughts from Australian cartoonist and pastor, Matt Glover Fri, 18 May 2012 00:33:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: ¿johnman¿ http://www.mattglover.com/wordpress/wordpress/2005/10/11/is-the-old-testament-irrelevant/#comment-43 ¿johnman¿ Wed, 12 Oct 2005 03:06:48 +0000 http://www.mattglover.com/wordpress/wordpress/?p=23#comment-43 I can see why someone may preach from the New Testament alot more than the Old Testament. The OT is important and for so many reasons, it contains the stories of God and his chosen people, showing us so much of who God is, and how amazing and awesome He is. However the NT shows us the life of Jesus, God incarnate right here on earth, living breathing God as a man. It shows us the way he lived his life and the stories he told to guide us in the right directions. It contains the commands he told us to teach others. In the NT is where the Church begins and there is the reason for the Church to be Jesus witnesses here on earth, to love the people here and go and make more followers of Jesus. And since the Church isn't really doing much in the means of doing the things Jesus told us to do then maybe we need to hear them a whole lot more cause we obviously don't seem to be getting it. so maybe it is more that in this time we need to get wacked over the head with the NT a bit more than the OT.
