COVENANT OF PEACE

Ezekiel 37:26-28

I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant, and I will establish My sanctuary in their midst forever. My tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them, when My sanctuary is among them forever.

Encouraging Words

The God that followers of Christ worship is a covenantal God. He is relational to His created beings and is always entering into a covenant with us. The ultimate, and final, covenant was His Son, Jesus. The actions of Jesus (incarnation, sinlessness, sacrificial death, and resurrection) established God’s everlasting covenant with us. Jesus became our sanctuary. He became our permanent tabernacle. The actions of Jesus created an intimate relationship between God and us, His people. As time progresses, all peoples will know that He is Lord. Glory be to God!
