The Everlasting Covenant...


2 Samuel 23:1-5

New Living Translation (NLT)
David’s Last Words
 1 These are the last words of David:   “David, the son of Jesse, speaks—
      David, the man who was raised up so high,
   David, the man anointed by the God of Jacob,
      David, the sweet psalmist of Israel.[a]
 2 “The Spirit of the Lord speaks through me;
      his words are upon my tongue.
 3 The God of Israel spoke.
      The Rock of Israel said to me:
   ‘The one who rules righteously,
      who rules in the fear of God,
 4 is like the light of morning at sunrise,
      like a morning without clouds,
   like the gleaming of the sun
      on new grass after rain.’
 5 “Is it not my family God has chosen?
      Yes, he has made an everlasting covenant with me.
   His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail.
      He will ensure my safety and success.

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. "One day, a wise friend helped me understand this verse more fully by saying, “Apart from me you can do nothing  of spiritual significance,  nothing  of   etern al value.” - Caran Jantzen

A Necessary Sacrifice

Hebrews 2:16-18 New Living Translation (NLT) 16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[a] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
