The Everlasting Covenant

Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Heb 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


God of peace brought our Lord Jesus alive from being dead.
The Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep(us).
Through the blood of the everlasting covenant.


Covenant. Promise between God and man. God didn't have to make a covenant with man, but He did. Jesus came as the sacrifice necessary for the covenant to be binding. It is the GREAT SHEPHERD's blood that will make it possible for us to perfect in every good work to do HIS will. HIS will, not our will, His will. We often want God to make us perfect in our own will but it's our will we have to give over to His will only then can He make us perfect. We have to surrender self and He will work that which is wellpleasing in His sight. We have to get rid of self.


May God help us, continuously bless us, because we are full of self, much too full of self. Empty us Lord and fill us with You! By Your unfathomable love and mercy, Your forgiveness now and forever.


Amen.
