"God qualified us as ministers of the new covenant of the Spirit," 2 Corinthians 3:6.
New covenant of the Spirit? Yes! The Spirit gives life. Desperately needed because the old covenant based on letters carved in stone brought condemnation and death. That covenant that kills was itself brought to an end. And the new covenant of life in the Spirit brings righteousness and glory. Glory! The permanent covenant shines! It takes away the fog of the old testament, and gives freedom in Christ. And we all, Jew and ethnic alike, are being transformed into the bright image of Christ. New testament. Good News!
We meet up with a brother or sister today to celebrate the new relationship we have with God and each other. And together we give thanks for his eternal life-giving ministry.
