Paul explained this to the Hebrew Christians in Hebrews 9 & 10
And John the Baptist, at Jesus' baptism, announced him as the "Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world."
Before Jesus' advent, the shedding of the blood of bulls and goats endeavoured to take sins away; but this was not possible, (Hebrews 10.4); but now we are:
"sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all]." (Hebrews 10.10)

First, the term 'testament' was only first coined in the 2nd Century AD. It is actually the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is commonly referred to as the Hebrew Bible/Scriptures. In the Old there are currently 39 books while in the New there are 27.

Rather the Bible is one continuous inspired set of teachings and instructions.The Apostles quoted from the Old Covenant 695 times. Depending on which scholar you refer to, the Old Covenant is quoted/alluded to over 4,105 times ((Roger Nicole, The Expositor's Bible Commentary , Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1979, Vol. I, p. 617). When one considers that the only written Covenant at the time of the Apostles was the Old, we see the importance the Apostle Paul of the Gentiles places on it here:2 Timothy 3:15New King James Version (NKJV)15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

What role did Jesus and paul play in the early histroy of Christianity?
Christianity started with Jesus Christ. Jesus came down from heaven from God the Father to reconcile sinners back to God. Since the time of Adam mankind has been alienated from God by sin. Jesus died on the cross to be the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Only persons who believe in Jesus Christ by faith can be saved from eternal damnation and be given eternal life. While on earth Jesus chose 12 disciples/apostles. These men were believers that Jesus was the Son of God and were trained by Him to carry on the work of Jesus to reconcile others to God. In the Old Testament, Jeremiah 31:31 it says," Behold, the days are coming, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah......" The old covenant ended and the new covenant began when Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurrected three days later. The old covenant was the Law of Moses and was for the Jewish nation. The new covenant was to be a transition for the Jews to follow the Messiah and be directed by Him in a new way. They rejected Jesus as being the Messiah and have continued in the old covenant which is no covenant at all since Jesus died and was resurrected. God included the Gentile nations into the new covenant, which brings us to the Apostle Paul. The apostle Paul was picked by God the father and Jesus Christ in eternity past to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. (If you are not Jewish you are a Gentile). Paul traveled over much of the Roman Empire (A very large area) and preached about Jesus Christ being the Son of God and that faith in Him is necessary to be saved and have eternal life. Since that time generation upon generation has been passing on the "Good News" (Gospel) that Jesus Christ is the Savior of any who will believe in Him.

Why is Jesus a leader?
The Creator of heaven and earth is God. God is the supreme God and it is He who started the nation of Israel and gave them His law to live by (The Law of Moses). This was the start of true religion. This Law of Moses is called the "Old Covenant" that God made with His people. About 2000 years ago God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to earth to die on the cross of Calvary, be buried, and resurrect the third day. This act of Jesus was to save mankind from their sins. (Something the Law could not do) This act of dying and resurrecting also ended the "Old Covenant" and began the "New Covenant". You will notice the Bible is in two parts. The Old Testament pertains to the "Old Covenant" and the New Testament pertains to the "New Covenant". Jesus Christ is not just a religious Leader, He is the ultimate Leader. John 14:6, Jesus tells us, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. This tells us that Jesus is the only way to heaven. There is only one God and one Savior whereby men can be saved. God and Jesus are the same, the One God.
