The New Covenant, the better covenant, which is in the Blood…amen, Lord (smile).
Yes–truly wondrous. My son and I are currently in the Precept covenant class (my second time through–his first), and were studying these very same passages the same day you posted this. I think we can take this so lightly, but it is awe-inspiring, tear-jerking, and worship-provoking if we but ponder it now and then. Immanuel. God with us. Why in the world does he even WANT to be? But He does. That thought alone should send us to our knees….
Thank you for sharing this, little brother…. š
