did Jesus every mention that he came to make a new covenent?

Question

And did the Old testament prophecies ever mention that the Mosaic law will be nullified?

Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

Of course.

Jesus gives a new covenant in his blood, as detailed in all the Gospels except John's.

The old testament refers to this future event as well.

In the new testament of the Bible, the new covenant is explained 24 different times by name, and many, many other times in terms of reference.

And you can't have a new covenant without all new stuff. Otherwise, it would be rightly called the "modified covenant" ... and we all know Jesus doesn't lie.

Jesus, the Last Supper, and the crucifixion constituted the eternal fulfillment of the Jewish Passover and of the entire old testament.

Jesus then became for us, the definitive new covenant sacrifice and celebration.

Why else did you think he would choose to die during Easter (Passover) time?

The Church ... established and headed by Christ ... and not the old Mosaic Law, or any of it's associated ordinances or statutes ... is the definitive new covenant authority, appointed by Christ himself.

In its' wisdom, the church, no longer subject to the old law, readopted and readapted the ten commandments to the realities of the new testament.

The God given authority of the church is the only reason we still observe the commandments today. Ditto for scripture.

The Bible may not be easy to understand on the subject, but it is clear, and the church has always declared this to be the case, through both word and deed.

Remember the story about new wine and old wine skins? Jesus was speaking about the old law vs. the new covenant.

There was no way the old could contain the new.

In the new covenant, God reigns supreme through his church so all men might be saved, not by law, but by grace.

In the old covenant, the Mosaic Law, largely written by man, never managed to save a single soul.

Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Answer 3

Only in the Old testament as you've noted.


Nothing in the "New Covenant" says that anything has been nullified except the old covenant which was for them which were taken out of the land of Egypt.

Answer 4

You may be thinking of when he coined the phrase, "new testament" at The Last Supper. The "new covenant" is an Old Testament term about a love agreement where God softens our hearts and makes us "human," where He write his laws on our hearts instead of stone because that's where they're best kept! In olden times the blood of animals "testified" to that agreement of mutual respect and cherishing. The "new testament" is Jesus' blood sealing it forever. Of course He wouldn't want His law destroyed! It's written on the hearts of those who love Him!

Answer 5

Matthew 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

Romans 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

Answer 6

Yes jesus did come to make a new covenant and that is Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love others as you love yourself.
And no way did He come to do away with the Mosaic Law. He came to fulfill the prophesies of old.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Answer 7

It is He who IS the new covenant. The old testament is all about the preperation of Christ. The new testament is all about Christs arrival.

That is why the sacrificing of animals is no longer....it changed when Christ came. Which is part of the law of Moses =Sacrificing of animals that sort of thing.

Answer 8

Jesus never made such a claim, but Jeremiah mentions a new covenant being written on our hearts.

Answer 9

Yes he himself was the New Covenant. His teachings were new and different than what the Sadducee's and pharisees were teaching. Hence the stone tablet breaking when he was resurrected.

Mary and Jesus

http://www.submission.org/suras/sura3.htm
[3:42] The angels said, "O Mary, GOD has chosen you and purified you. He has chosen you from all the women.

[3:43] "O Mary, you shall submit to your Lord, and prostrate and bow down with those who bow down."

[3:44] This is news from the past that we reveal to you. You were not there when they drew their raffles to select Mary's guardian. You were not present when they argued with one another.

[3:45] The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.'

[3:46] "He will speak to the people from the crib, as well as an adult; he will be one of the righteous."

[3:47] She said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, when no man has touched me?" He said, "GOD thus creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He simply says to it, `Be,' and it is.

[3:48] "He will teach him the scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel."

[3:49] As a messenger to the Children of Israel: "I come to you with a sign from your Lord - I create for you from clay the shape of a bird, then I blow into it, and it becomes a live bird by GOD's leave. I restore vision to the blind, heal the leprous, and I revive the dead by GOD's leave. I can tell you what you eat, and what you store in your homes. This should be a proof for you, if you are believers.

[3:50] "I confirm previous scripture - the Torah - and I revoke certain prohibitions imposed upon you. I come to you with sufficient proof from your Lord. Therefore, you shall observe GOD, and obey me.

[3:51] "GOD is my Lord and your Lord; you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path."

[3:52] When Jesus sensed their disbelief, he said, "Who are my supporters towards GOD?" The disciples said, "We are GOD's supporters; we believe in GOD, and bear witness that we are submitters."

*3:51 This is precisely what Jesus is quoted to say throughout the New Testament. See for example the Gospel of John 20:17, and the book "Jesus: Myths and Message" by Lisa Spray, Ch. 4 (Universal Unity, Fremont, CA 1992).

[3:53] "Our Lord, we have believed in what You have sent down, and we have followed the messenger; count us among the witnesses."

The Death of Jesus*

[3:54] They plotted and schemed, but so did GOD, and GOD is the best schemer.

[3:55] Thus, GOD said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, raising you to Me, and ridding you of the disbelievers. I will exalt those who follow you above those who disbelieve, till the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is the ultimate destiny of all of you, then I will judge among you regarding your disputes.

[3:56] "As for those who disbelieve, I will commit them to painful retribution in this world, and in the Hereafter. They will have no helpers."

[3:57] As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, He will fully recompense them. GOD does not love the unjust.

[3:58] These are the revelations that we recite to you, providing a message full of wisdom.

Mathematical Confirmation*

[3:59] The example of Jesus, as far as GOD is concerned, is the same as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, "Be," and he was.

[3:60] This is the truth from your Lord; do not harbor any doubts.
