Lent 2014 day 36 by ric gustafson
Luke 22:20- ' This cup is the new covenant by my blood which is poured out for you'.
Covenants were solemn promises sealed with blood. Sacrificed animals were symbols of a promise not to be broken. Jeremiah 31:33 speaks of the prophet speaking of a new covenant where the Law will be written on the hearts of the people. This new covenant will produce a profound change.
This new covenant will usher in a deeper understanding of the relationship between God and humanity. This covenant will remove the final barrier of sin and death. We do not have to have death hanging over us. When Jesus lifted that cup, With his blood, everyone will be offered eternal life. With this new covenant, we will enter God's presence and live with God for all of eternity.
Jesus, thank you for the new covenant and for saving me a sinner.
