New Covenant

Wednesday July 22nd, Ephesians 2: 15 Then he started over. Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody. This is the New Covenant in my Blood, shed for All people. God’s intention is that all of creation see one another as brothers and sisters and learn to care for one another. Most of humanity is still caught up with a “Mom, he looked at me” attitude. What takes effort is living in that fresh start, we like the old systems. We are more comfortable with the devil we know than with the God we don’t know. Christ came to bring peace through forgiveness and fresh starts. It is not a matter of starting conflicts and claiming that God is on your side, it is a matter of recognizing that Christ brought peace, that we are brothers and sisters, and asking if we are on Christ’s side.
