|Many wish that they had the sermon from that encounteron the road, not realizing that it is right in front of them in the Gospels. Like many, I had been given the impression through the church, that the New Testament was filled with new teachings. Though this is partially true, the new teachings are nothing more than the mystery hidden in the old. Even Paul's doctrines were checked against the Old Testament by the Bereans. No one in that day would have accepted a teaching that began "I have a special revelation and new doctrine from God." Nor should we accept that today. But we should pray that our eyes be opened to the new teaching in the old teaching.
