Hebrews 9:11-15

MEDIATOR OF A NEW COVENANT
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant…. Hebrews 9:15, NIV

The Bible is divided into two major parts – Old and New Testaments. There is no way we can have the full understanding of the acts of God in the Old Testament without having the New Testament explanation of it. It is in the New Testament that God's plans for humanity are revealed.

However, it should be noted that the potency of a covenant depends on the strength of the seal of the covenant.
This is what the writer of Hebrews is communicating to us today. In the Old Testament, it was the blood of animal God used to seal His covenant relationship with His people.  Whereas, in the New Testament, He used the blood of Jesus, His Son.

With this, Jesus remains the eternal Mediator of the New Covenant.
This means that we can now come boldly to the throne of grace in prayer. As long as we keep our own part of the covenant tenaciously, God remains faithful to His own.

As Christ drew near to death, He Himself trembled …. To His humanity,… it seemed terrible - Gethsemane bears witness how terrible it seemed; but He passed into it for love of us. - Phillips Brooks

Jeremiah 30:1-3, 18-22

THE DAYS ARE SURELY COMING

I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his dwellings. Jeremiah 30:18, NIV

Jeremiah's prophecy included
(a) deliverance of the Jews from Babylon;
(b) the restoration and happy state of Israel and Judah, when converted to Christ their King;
(c) the miseries of the nations before the coming of Christ;
(d) all men must honour and worship the Son as they honour and worship the Father.

Just as the promise of restoration came to the Israelites in the days of Jeremiah, God is extending the same hope of restoration to you today.

Our gracious Lord pardons the sins of believers, and breaks off the yoke of sin and Satan. He does this that they may serve God without fear, in righteousness and true holiness before Him all the days of their lives, as the redeemed of the Lord.

Your own day of restoration is today. You have dwelt too long on that mountain of despair and despondency. God is determined to bring you into your desired haven. This shall be so, in Jesus' name.

• Birthday Blessing: "He raiseth up the poor … and lifteth up the beggar … to set among the princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory …." 1 Samuel 2:8

Read Bible Through Passage: Proverbs 11, 12, 13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-19

That such a movement has co-opted the name of spirituality in our pop culture tells us just how hungry we are for the real thing, and how unfed we remain. - Eugene Kennedy

Jeremiah 11:1-10

HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT

…Cursed is the man who does not obey the terms of this covenant…. Jeremiah 11:3, NIV

A friend of mine once told me that he and his girlfriend made a "blood covenant". This they did by cutting each other's finger tip and taking turn to suck each other's blood.
Thereafter, they had sexual intercourse and promised never to have sexual relationship with any other person till they die.

But my friend broke the covenant and paid the price. He died mysteriously. The penalty for breaking any covenant is always grievous, and it could have effect on generations yet unborn.

All God's promises and blessings are premised on covenant agreement. He wants us to demonstrate full obedience to His laws before we can enjoy the blessings of His kingdom.

In today's passage, God, through prophet Jeremiah, promised to take the Israelites to a land flowing with milk and honey if they obeyed and did everything He had commanded.

However, the Israelites broke God's laws several times and they paid dearly for it. What is your attitude toward God's instructions? The truth is, you can only get the best from God when you are obedient to His Word (Isaiah 1:19).

• Birthday Blessing:
"Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me." Psalm 40:13

Read Bible Through Passage:
Psalm 139-144; 1 Corinthians 11

The greatest calling a man can experience is to be fully conquered by God, for such to conquer for Him. - Anonymous
