Covenant of Christ: Hebrews Series - 10

orchidee



Tune: Laus Deo

('Bright the vision that delighted')

Hebrews 9 v.12-14

********

Not by the blood of goats and calves

But by His own blood Christ saves

Entered once into holy place

To save all of every race

 

He has now for us sure obtained

Eternal redemption claimed

For if blood of bulls and of goats

Cleanses, what then Christ promotes?

 

Old Covenant animals slain

Outward cleansing they (the people) did gain

But how much more shall Christ's blood shed

Bring inward cleansing, 'tis said

 

He through the eternal Spirit

Offered Himself as was writ

Without spot to God, so cleansing

Conscience from dead works, each thing

 

Cleansed from things of man-made doing

Which cannot salvation bring

Cleansed to serve the living God true

We in Christ made creatures new

 

We benefit, New Covenant

God to us His Son has sent

He does forgive the penitent

Their state of heart repentant

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8787 metre. We could say that here we come to the heart of our 'enquiry', of contrasting the Old and New Covenants - in these middle chapters from Hebrews.

      Thanks STEVE for another great Organ Recital ~ ideal wake up for a Bank Holiday ~ NO WORK TODAY Loved the Poem ! The more I read HEBREWS the more I am convinced that only PAUL could have wriiten it. He was an Academic and a very devout JEW who UNDERSTOOD the OT especially the LAW and he understood it purpose & power ~ but also its transience ~ when the OLD COVENANT (Jews Only) was replaced by the NEW COVENANT (Everybody !) This is the key theme of HEBREWS ~ JESUS Greater than MOSES & The Prophets ~ greater than the LAW ~ even Greater than the ANGELS ~ JESUS came not to destroy the LAW but to fulfil it AMEN & AMEN ~ Your BROTHER BRIAN ~ AMEN again ! Please check my "Tribute to JIM REEVES" Ta B !
