The New Covenant

 GOD always keeps HIS promises.  In the days of Jeremiah, GOD told Jeremiah that HE would make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.  And GOD did that when HE sent HIS only Son to Israel to be born there.  

Jesus spoke to the Jews.  Jesus was a Jew.  Jesus gave them new laws to live under.  No longer did the people have to sacrifice to GOD in order to atone for their sins.  No longer did the people have six hundred laws to live by.  No longer did they have to face death and separation from GOD.

Now there was a new covenant.  A new way to get to GOD and a new way to make atonement for their sins.

All they had to do was to accept Jesus as their Lord and their Saviour.

And the Jewish people rejected the new covenant.  I am not talking about all Jewish people.  Some have come to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and their Saviour.  But the nation of Israel rejected GOD's Son and they rejected the new covenant.  

But GOD did so much more with the new covenant.  GOD gave the same sacrificial lamb to the Gentiles.  For that I am so grateful to GOD.  HIS goodness and mercy endures forever!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  I accept Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!
