Jesus invites us into a new life lived in his presence.

Jesus not only has the authority to forgive sinners but he came to earth to forgive notorious sinners and restore them to God.

Jesus exercises his desire and authority to restore a broken, lonely, and desperate humanity.

Jesus called his disciples to fulfill his purpose of preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ so that Jesus could draw more disciples to himself who in turn would do the same as them. Jesus made disciples who would make disciples. We are those disciples who should continue to be used to call all men and women we can into this relationship with him.

Jesus is not only the originator of the Passover, but he is the True Passover. He has the authority to modify the Passover to more fully represent its reality, himself. Through his life and substitutionary death, he, the True Passover, provided an Exodus for us, the True Exodus, which sets us free from the slavery of sin and death and makes us children of God who can enter a truly free life.

Jesus gives us the benefits of the New Covenant through the cleansing of his blood and the regeneration of his Spirit. We will also see that he is alone is trustworthy to tell us how to receive these benefits.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Covenant of Grace through this New Covenant to grant God’s people the promised blessings in all the previous covenants. These blessings find their ultimate fulfillment in God’s people having God as their God and being his people.

God is Our Faithful God who gives a further revelation of the Covenant of Grace to reveal that king David’s descendant, Jesus Christ, would forever graciously reign over his people to give them peace and a permanent place with God as their God and them as his people.

God is Our Faithful God who gives a further revelation of the Covenant of Grace to reveal and codify his will for his people to show them how they are to live as his people and to show them how Christ is the only way to fulfill God’s perfect requirements, as well as to show those who will eventually come to Christ their need of him, and for all the rest to keep the world from being as bad as it could be.

Children are not only part of the church, but just as in the commonwealth of Israel, children are members of God’s covenant. Since they are included within the covenant, they should receive the covenant sign of membership, which in the New Testament is baptism.
