In this teaching session, Pastor Rhode explores the transition from the Davidic Covenant to the New Covenant, using the book of Hebrews as a key link. The focus is on how Hebrews contrasts the Old Mosaic Covenant with the New Covenant established through Jesus Christ. Pastor emphasizes that the Davidic Covenant finds its fulfillment in Christ, who is both David's heir and David's God.
At the Last Supper, Jesus' words, "This cup is the New Covenant in my blood," mark the initiation of the New Covenant, which is further expanded upon in Hebrews. In Hebrews 1, the text highlights the shift from the Old Covenant, where God spoke through prophets, to the New Covenant, where God now speaks through His Son. This signifies a new era, where no further revelation is required until Christ's return, as Jesus is the final and ultimate revelation of God to humanity.
Pastor underscores that Christ's reign, as King, fulfills God's divine plan. By making "purification for sins" through His crucifixion, ascension, and enthronement at the right hand of God, Christ now reigns eternally, bringing the New Covenant into its fullness.
