Adoption Through Covenant + The Reality of Who We Are


Listen Later

I was treating my relationship with God as if it was a contract and not a covenant. A contract can be broken, one can walk away from a contract - in a covenant, you cannot.

This is what I meant when I was talking about the scars:

In John 20, Jesus never actually says the word “scars,” but the wounds are clearly described. Thomas says, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe” (John 20:25).

When Jesus appears to him, He responds by repeating Thomas’ own words: “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe” (John 20:27). The language assumes the marks are still there, the nail wounds in His hands and the pierced side from the crucifixion (John 19:34).

Scripture doesn’t label these wounds as “scars,” but it clearly presents them as visible, identifiable marks in Jesus’ resurrected body. The risen Christ still bears the evidence of suffering.

all for his glory
