This world is filled with death. According to the Bible in Adam we all die. Where can we find hope? Is there a source of life? The answer is found in Jesus Christ. Do you know Him?
In the Bible we find many references to transactions and covenants. In our passage we find one of those references and it is found in the usage of the word surety. Now we know that Christ was made a surety of a better testament, but what exactly does that mean?
Our lives have become one continuous stream of activity, communication and information input. We come to the end of ourselves. How did we get in this fix? What are we to do now? What is God’s way through this mess?
The Christian life is pictured in the Bible as a race to run; a course to finish. The Apostle Paul was determined to finish his course with joy and the ministry which he had received of the Lord (Acts 20:24). Shortly before his death, he could give this testimony: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2Timothy 4:7). Notice, he had finished his course.
Jesus has invited every soul to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28-20). This cancels all previous engagements. Won’t you accept His offer today?
