New Covenant in Christ

Today's passage is Hebrews 8:8-12.  It talks about how God made a new covenant through Christ. The Old covenant that he made under Moses is now fulfilled in Jesus.  I like making lists.  My bible has two lists showing how the two covenants were different.  I thought I would share some of that with you today.  Take some time to look over this list and appreciate how Jesus brings freedom into our lives.

Old Covenant Under Moses                            New Covenant in Christ

Sacrifices required for sin                                  Jesus sacrificed for our sin

Focused on a building to                                    Focused on Christ residing in our hearts
worship God      

Limited access to God                                       Unlimited access to God

Continual sacrifice                                            Conclusive sacrifice

Available to some                                             Available to all

If you find yourself taking for granted the sacrifice Jesus did on the cross. Take some time today to look over this list and maybe even add to it.  Let the love of God fill you new today.  We need to never forget how high and how deep his love is for us.
