The New Covenant of God

In the beginning, God created man and woman.
But man sinned and their offsprings carried the curse of death.
In time, people were condemned
To pay the penalty of sin for as long as they lived.

But God knew their hearts, He didn't want those offerings and sacrifices.
God was sad His children were condemned away from Him forever.
He had to. He hated sin and sin cannot enter the midst of God.
God had a plan: He wanted His children back into His arms once again.
He sent His Son, Jesus.

Jesus came to earth as a man. He taught, healed, and discipled.
When time came, He was crucified, died, and buried.
But alas, in three days, He rose again. ALIVE!
That was the plan.

The Father brought the Son to us to pay our wages.
God didn't want our worldly sacrifices.
He didn't want us to slave ourselves trying hard to enter His Kingdom.
He wanted us FULL ASSURANCE and ACCEPTANCE of Jesus' payment of our debts
For no amount can equal the death of the Father's Son.

No deed. No penance. No pilgrimage.
Nothing can pay us from sin.
No friend. No teacher. No enemy.
Nothing can take our place of death.
Only Jesus can. The perfect Lamb of God.

God is happy His children can now enter His Home
To be with Him forevermore.
In Jesus, the mighty name of Christ,
The covenant for God's children
Is sealed for eternal life.

Here Is A Man

We think of ourselves as free and wild, but what does a man do when trouble strikes him? We find people who can provide our needs. Some seek for therapy, some for books, and some find religion. What is the difference of such things? None, as much as I can think of, but they are similar that these things can still lead to emptiness in the future.

What I think is that people can't help you, therapy can neither, nor self-help books, not even religion. Religion? You say. Yes, religion can't help you nor can it save you, but Jesus can. Jesus is not religion,, but a relationship. Our friends, family can provide little for us but they can't always provide everything that we ask or expect, but Jesus can. In relationships, we come to our friends and family. In Jesus, we come to know him personally and not from what people say who he is, and come to reconciliation to God the Father. Reconciliation always involve relationships. How can you be reconciled when you don't know the person?

Just think of it.
