But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.— Hebrews 8:6 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
The Old Testament is a beautiful covenant of love, as God redeems fallen mankind and sets in motion his plan of grace to bring us to Jesus. But as powerful as that old covenant was, we have come to a superior covenant because the mediator of this new covenant is Jesus, who is the perfect sacrifice and guarantor of God’s great promises.
My Prayer…
Thank you, Almighty God, for sending Jesus to fulfill the promises and carry out the plan you set in place so long ago and revealed by your prophets of old. I thank you and praise you in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
