The Lord's Gospel - Part 3

1 year ago
39

In Part 3 of this series of the Lord's Gospel, we explain why one would expect Jesus, as the mediator of the New Covenant, to initiate a new kingdom of God on earth. We confirm the fact that the New Covenant was designed for a people of God, not individuals. Just as the Old Covenant, including its Law of Moses, was designed to govern a people within a kingdom of God, the New Covenant, including its Law of Christ, also was designed to govern a people within a New Covenant kingdom of God. We also confirm that Jesus enacted the New Covenant with the inauguration of his sacrificial blood. Now, one would not expect Jesus to enact the New Covenant thousands of years before there was a need for it. Accordingly, it is much more reasonable to conclude the New Covenant has been utilized by several New Covenant peoples of God forming multiple New Covenant kingdoms of God as Paul demonstrated to us in his letters describing the ekklesiai of God to which Paul committed his life to establish and serve.
