Jeremiah 31-32
Covenants! That is what this passage is all
about. A covenant is a binding
agreement, but it’s more than that.
It is an agreement made with all your heart and soul. It is the basis of marriage, the
covenant between a man and women to be faithful in all areas “until death you
do part.”
DEATH!!! Death is the nullifier to all covenants;
all but one and that “new covenant” is promised in today’s reading.
“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new
covenant…” 31:31
So let’s see what this “new
covenant” is.
“In the same way, after the supper he (Jesus) took the cup, saying,
‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.’” Luke 22:20
But an all-important question
still lingers: with whom is Christ making this new covenant in His blood?
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Whosoever is a big word!!! But it has to be; it includes every
human being. I guess that makes it
the biggest word in the Bible!
Don’t you love Jesus!!!
