These are the NT chapters that have the most sustained explanation of the 'big picture' of the Bible as the OT flows into the NT. Sure, there are other quick statements but not whole chapters. Do you think any are missing?

Rom 3-5, 9-11
Gal 3-4
2 Cor 3-5
Heb 9-10
Acts 13's sermon (I'd have included Stephen's sermon but it was to make such a particular point when compared to Acts 13 where there is no duress, no life at stake per se)

Ex. of 'quick statement': Jn 1: the law came through Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Great statement but not length when compared to...Gal 3.

I can understand why you've put in Mt 5 with its reference to Law, Prophets and kingdom of heaven, but I never got quite the historic scope out of it. Certainly it contrasts them ethically. But I don't see a statement like Rom 5: sin was in the world before the Law, but sin is not taken into account without the law.

The Mt 7 is also very ethical and practical. Do you find it as wide-sweeping as Lk 21 saying that the time coming up was 'the punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written'?

Thanks,

I believe that the Mt verses show the applicability of the Law and the Prophets today, whereas the Lk 21 reference refers to the fulfillment of all the prophecies to come, during the end. They refer to different time periods, but they all have their place
