Book excerpt: This book is a journey through the New Testament focussed on the ministry of Jesus and the responsibilities given to the church, particularly, in stewarding the truths of the word of God. It is looking afresh at these truths and reminding us of the responsibility the church has of ensuring each generation knows what has been committed to them by the Lord. We begin by looking at the impact of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ while on earth, particularly, from the perspective of encounters that ordinary men and women experienced. Their reaction and responses lets us know what resonated with them. Whether it was Jesus teaching in their Synagogues or on a hillside we continually hear expressed how they were astonished at His doctrine. They would even ask the question ‘what new doctrine is this.’ It is gleaning from the Lord so that we follow in His footsteps that we might see a similar response in these days as the word of God goes forth. As the church grew and expanded throughout the Roman Empire a number of revelations were committed into the hands of the church. These revelations were defined as mysteries in the New Testament which have to be passed from generation to generation. The Apostle Paul provides details of eight of these mysteries, the Apostle John speaks of two mysteries, and the Lord Himself gives us one mystery. Part two of this book explores these mysteries.
