Okay, you’ve already taken a glance at the Old Testament (see my previous blog called The Bible Puzzle – Part One: Old Testament). Now, let’s apply the same approach to the New Testament.
Ready? Let’s dive in. First, you need to find the historical edge-pieces for the New Testament.
• Matthew, Mark, Luke, John (The Life of Jesus)
• Acts (The Life of the Church)
That’s it! Pretty brief, huh? Alright, let’s go ahead and put the inside-pieces in place.
• 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2, & 3 John, Jude (Letters Addressing Needs in the Life of the Church)
• Revelation (God’s Future Plans for the Church and the World)
Again, we could spend many hours studying all the pieces of the New Testament, but we’re staying very “general” at this point. All we’re looking for here is a bird’s eye view of God’s Word.
Of course, it may be helpful for you to take Part One and Two of the Bible Puzzle and fit them together so you can have an overview of the Old and New Testaments in one place.
In another blog, I’ll give you some basic observations and a point of application from the Bible Puzzle because, remember, our purpose is to apply God’s Word – this is God’s Word Applied! Stay tuned…
