Hebrews 12: 23-24

………You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, ²⁴to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

 

The final judge, the great mediator, the Holy Spirit and the New Covenant……  This is what is so exciting about the Christian faith. The New Covenant, the chance for salvation, the forgiveness of sin…..while we know that God will judge us, we also know Jesus will be our mediator. His death covered our sins, and opened the gates of Heaven. This New Covenant built on love, compassion, selflessness, and faith, a Covenant that reflects the life that Jesus lived; it is our road map. It is our center, and our compass. TO wake up every morning, and know that we are saved, to lay our head down at night, and know that our short comings are bridged, and our sins can be forgiven, that is news to shout form the mountain tops. This concept is the jump off point for our faith. This is the good news in a nut shell. It is not our bank accounts, or our standing in the community that counts, it is our standing in the eyes of God. It is our trust in God, our Faith in Christ, and our belief that this world is only the beginning that makes up the cornerstone of our lives. SO what gets you going in the morning? Is it the prospect of what the day holds and what you will amass, or is it the prospect of all that you can do for and through Christ? Will you wake with the desire to just make it through the day, or will you rise with strength that comes from knowing that God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, are working on your behalf before your eyes even opened? Will you allow the Lord to use you as an example of all of his greatness? We have come to a better place, a place where the Holy Trinity works on our behalf under the New Covenant. Let us work to exemplify that, let us reflect that love, and let that love flow from us like river that has broken through a dam!

 

May God bless and keep you,
