New Covenant

Easter has come and we are moving toward the Ascension of Christ and Pentecost. The picture is becoming clear as we enter the era of the New Covenant. Christ has opened a new and living way through His perfect sacrifice. Almighty God has torn his heart wide open and screamed at a sinful, selfish world, "Whosoever will may come!" The barriers, restrictions, and limitations have been removed. Tax collectors, Samaritans, lepers, the demon possessed, Gentiles all have open access to the heart of the Father. This New Covenant is centered in the person of Jesus Christ, and becomes the pathway to life for mankind. The God who is a consuming fire has come to us in the grace and truth of the Son. "He who has seen me has seen the Father." The New Covenant provides a new heart, acceptance into the family of God, an itimate relationship with the Creator of the universe, and the forgiveness of sins. Those who have experienced this new life in Christ should be shouting, "Hallelujah!" Church, let's hear it-Hallelujah, the Lamb has won!
