Adoration 17

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill”;  “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” 

Matthew 5:17, Mark 10:45

Christmas concludes the Old Testimony.  The Old Testimony was the laying out of a single theme; God desires a personal relationship with every human being. The Old Testament begins with humans in intimate personal relationship with God and ends with humans in exile, completely lost and separated from God.  The New Testimony is that God settles the Old Testimony by fulfilling its requirements in His Son, the Servant Ransom for every human. 

God I am grateful for Your New Testimony, “Lee your ransom was too much but because I love you I have bought you back!”
