Few realize the New Testament didn't start until Christ died at Calvary. Heb 9:16-17... For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. According to the scripture the New Testament was not in force until Christ died. Christ was the testator and His death ushered in the New Testament for both Jew and Gentile. As long as the testator lived the new Testament was not enforce. Scriptures go on to tell us that Christ purchased the Church with His blood. This is not to say His life was not His testament.
