Jesus, The New Covenant

“The time is coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.  It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.  “This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord.  “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  I will be their God, and they will be my people.  No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord.

– Jeremiah 31:31-34

In order to entirely understand the reason why Jesus (Yeshua) was born into the world and bore the cross for ALL mankind fulfilling the redemptive plan of God, we must first understand that God implemented a New Covenant with his people Israel!  This New Covenant would not be Anything like the old covenant where the law was written on tablets of stone and daily sacrifice would have to be performed in the temple to atone for everyone’s sin, instead, the law would now be written on their hearts and put in their minds by God.  But how could God possibly put His law in their hearts and minds?  Through his Holy Spirit!  After the time of the old covenant Jesus (Yeshua) was concieved through God’s Holy Spirit and was born a Jewish man from the tribe of Judah by the virgin Miriam.  He grew up and was baptized by John the baptist in the Jordan River, where God’s Holy Spirit descended from heaven and lighted on Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) shoulder like a dove.  And God’s voice from heaven declared, “This is my son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”  Then Jesus (Yeshua) began baptizing people with the Holy Spirit and with fire.  You see, Jesus (Yeshua) opened a NEW and LIVING Way for God’s Holy Spirit to come dwell Richly within each one of us by fulfilling God’s redemptive plan of Salvation on the cross atoning for ALL our sin for ALL time!  Jesus (Yeshua) was the Perfect Spotless Lamb of God who took away the sin of the whole world and he declared this old covenant of sin “Finished” on the cross, which tore the veil to the Holy of Holies within the temple in two!  No longer would this old covenant of sin keep us seperated from God because Jesus (Yeshua) made the Way for us!  No longer would a man have to teach his neighbor or brother about the Lord (Jesus (Yeshua)) because they would all know the Lord (Jesus (Yeshua)); both God and Jesus (Yeshua) would come dwell within them Richly through the Holy Spirit!  And in order to receive the Holy Spirit, you MUST believe in God’s Son, Jesus (Yeshua)!  Now you see that if it weren’t for Jesus (Yeshua) there would be no hope of Salvation!  Jesus (Yeshua) was and still is God’s redemptive plan of Salvation for all God’s children!  He IS the New Covenant!  He IS this New and Living Way torn through the veil!  Recieve Jesus (Yeshua) into your heart Today!
