Theme : “ Covenant with God ”
Text : Hebrews 8:4-9
4. If he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are those who present offerings according to the law 5. (who worship, image and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was divinely warned when he was going to build the tabernacle: Take care, he was told, to do everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain). 6. But now he has obtained a so much higher ministry, as he is the mediator of a more excellent covenant, which has been established on better promises. 7. Indeed, if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no question of replacing it with a second. 8. For with the expression of reproof the Lord said unto Israel, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and the house of Judah a new covenant, 9 Not like the covenant I made with their fathers, The day I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, neither did I care for them, saith the Lord.
Let's remember:
This is not an April Fool's joke. The Lord God is close to renewing his covenant with us because we have not been able to keep the one before. The heart of the Father full of love makes his mercy speak to bring us back to Him. We have been listless and unworthy under the current covenant. We have piled up sins and betrayed our covenant, we have failed to grasp the promises God has made to us. We have demonstrated disobedience throughout. Such an alliance became ineffective because there were already too many flaws in its application. This is how our covenant with God was rendered void and unenforceable. Today God blames our infidelities. But the Lord God does not abandon us in this mess since there is no one else to get us out of it. Behold, our God returns to the charge with a new alliance different from that treated with our ancestors. The new covenant will be directly engraved in the minds and hearts of everyone. Excellent month of April and a good start to the weekend. Amen Alain Louz.-
