It is little wonder that the New Testament reminds us that the "law and prophets" of the Old Testament is the basis of our understanding of Christ (Acts 26:22; 28:23; Rom. 1:2,3; 16:25,26). Jesus himself warned that if we do not properly understand "Moses and the prophets", we cannot understand him (Luke 16:31; John 5:46,47).
Ni ajabu ndogo ya kwamba Agano Jipya linatukumbusha ya kuwa"Torati na Manabii"wa Agano la Kale ndio msingi wetu kumweka Kristo (Mdo. 26:22; 28: 23; Rum 1: 2,3; 16: 25,26). Yesu mwenyewe alitahadhalisha kwamba kama hatumwelewi vema"Musa na Manabii", hatuwezi kumfahamu (Luk. 16:31; Yn. 5:46, 47).
