Understanding the Old to Get the New

We are living in the New Testament and following by what is written in the New Testament; meaning the second half of the Bible. But I believe after really reading the Old Testament, I was then able to actually understand the New Testament much better. You see, the Old Testament was rough and raw, and the way of religious life was by no means easy. You literally had to make real life sacrifices to God. Killing cows and sheep, people!!! And if you didn't do it, then that's bad news for you! So once you can grasp the complexity and seemingly cruelness in the Old Testament, then you will be able to really understand and appreciate how Jesus literally rocked our world when he showed up on the scene.....
