"By the blood of the eternal covenant," Hebrews 13:20.
Eternal covenant? Yes. God has taken away the former covenant, the one sealed with the blood of animals, the one with ancient Israel. It was temporary. Yes. And God has established a new covenant sealed with the blood of Jesus. This covenant is eternal. In this new covenant God grafts all peoples through faith in Christ into the root stock of the promises God had made with Abraham. With faithful Abraham. And by this new covenant God now equips his people with everything good. Equipped to work his will in us through Jesus. God's blessings promised to Abraham on all earth's families through Abraham's seed: Jesus Christ.
As we meet with a brother or sister today, we work God's will with each other. And together we give glory to God for his grace for ever and ever.
