“This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant.” – Hebrews 7:22
Celebrate this truth! By His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection, Jesus Christ guarantees the new and better covenant God has made with mankind. This covenant isn’t based on what we do. It isn’t a covenant of rules and laws that we’ll inevitably break and lose the benefit of. This is a covenant based on God’s grace which can never break. The benefits of the new covenant can never be lost. Jesus Himself sits at the Father’s right hand to guarantee it!
This is truly good news. If you’ve embraced Jesus as your Lord, then you are under God’s new covenant. Your sins have been forgiven not because you sacrificed animals, but because of the voluntary sacrifice of the eternal Son of God Himself. Jesus gave Himself to be your once-for-all-time sacrifice on the cross, ratifying the new covenant with His innocent, holy, divine blood.
Jesus is the guarantee of the grace in which you stand! That grace can NEVER be shaken. That grace NEVER ends. The unending, indestructible life of Jesus is the proof and guarantee that in Christ, your life is eternal as well. Praise the Lord and #FollowJesus!
