Hebrews 8:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as
superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is
superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better
promises.
The Old Testament is a beautiful covenant of love, as God
redeems fallen mankind and sets in motion his plan of grace to bring us to
Jesus. But as powerful as that old covenant was, we have come to a superior
covenant because the mediator of this new covenant is Jesus, who is the perfect
sacrifice and guarantor of God's great promises.
Thought for today: Do I embrace my covering of grace living in “free”
obedience or do I need strict guidelines with clear punishments outlined in
order to decide what I will and will not do?
