Praise the NEW COVENANT Lord
“ And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup which is poured out for you is the NEW COVENANT in My blood.’”
New. We wish for new starts. We long for new things to replace old ones.
And so, Jesus ushered in a NEW COVENANT with mankind. New – in the sense that it was unprecedented. New – in the sense that it wasn’t from days of old.
The New Covenant wasn’t like the Old Covenant; made with the blood of a lamb. The New Covenant was made with His blood. Jesus had to die in order for the New Covenant to be sealed. And, so He came from heaven and became both the giver and the sacrifice of the New Covenant.
“New Covenant – My blood” – Jesus said in the same breath.
So while we gather and celebrate Christmas, let us remember the Giver and Gift of the New Covenant.
Lord Jesus, Giver of the NEW COVENANT in Your blood, we praise You and celebrate our relationship with You.
