Which would you rather do: spend an evening with Jesus Christ in person, or read the New Testament?
On the evening of his arrest, here’s how Jesus comforted his disciples: “It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you” (John 16:7). He was talking about the Holy Spirit, who would lead them in all truth and, through them, give us our New Testament.
But what about the Old Testament? Would you rather have been a witness to the very death of Jesus, or read the Old Testament for an afternoon?
