L3: Christ, Kingdom, and Covenants
Our Lord and Our Messiah
The covenants of the OT reveal kingdom as God’s goal and the covenants as the way God would bring about his promised kingdom. In the OT, we see pictures and pieces of the one we would need to bring about God’s promised kingdom through the new covenant. In the NT, God reveals Jesus as the center and hinge of his saving plan. Jesus alone meets our deep and desperate need with God’s own inexhaustible mercy, perfect justice, and unbounded power. Christ alone is God the Son Incarnate, our Prophet, Priest, and King.
Prayer
We praise you because you revealed Christ to us by your Spirit. We thank you because you have kept, are keeping, and will keep all of your promises in Christ. We ask you that his goodness and covenant love would keep pursuing us all the days of our lives, until we dwell in the house of the Lord together forever.
