Reading
SAA Notes
A lot of this chapter is a quote from Jeremiah 31. The theme is the new covenant. Jesus spoke about the Lord’s Supper in terms of the new covenant that was available to you and me through Him. Jesus’ place of priestly service is in heaven where God’s true tabernacle is.
SJA Notes
* Dear God, You are the one true and ever blessed God. Please reveal a little more of who You are to us today from Your word.
“But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.”
Here is the hope that Jesus brings, the mediator of this wonderful covenant built and enacted on the promises of God Almighty, faithful and true.
We now have God’s law put into our minds, written on our hearts – God’s Holy Spirit at work in us today.
And in the _not yet_, when we are brought into the new heavens and the new earth, God dwelling with us His people – ALL SHALL KNOW HIM.
This is the covenant made, the foretaste we have now and sure hope for what will be in glory.
This is what Jesus brings. The true High Priest ministering in the true tent (not the shadow or copy) – Built and upheld by the Lord (not man).
In Jesus we have a loving King and Saviour who is powerful and effective to bring about this new covenant without exception or failure.
Praise God for this!
* Lord God Almighty,
Thank You for Jesus, who has brought about and continues to execute this new and better covenant.
Please make us more like Him today Lord.
Please write Your word on our hearts today.
Amen.
