The joyful news (Ev-angelia) that Jesus not only brought in humanity but mostly experienced for her sake, was spread out of necessity through symbolisms difficult to understand. So the New Testament might now seem to us (and indeed is) a seven-sealed book which is cautious in revealing its treasures. Yet, this shouldn't discourage us but on the contrary should urge us in finally developing a living relationship with it; knowing with certainty that if we begin penetrating even a little into its mysteries, they will constitute for us invigorating waters which will quench our spirit's thirst.
