The history of the second man, His birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, His people, His instructions and teachings, His corning again. We get first the life and work of Christ, then the results of that work, practically in the Acts, doctrinally in the epistles, and lastly the future unfolded, with the Lord’s return. Thus, in brief, the Old Testament is man’s ruin, the New, God’s remedy; the Old—condemnation, the New—salvation; the Old— “as in Adam all die;” the New—“even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” It has been well said, “In the Old Testament the New lies hidden; in the New Testament the Old lies open.”
