THE MESSIAH

JEREMIAH 31:31 (MSG)
The time is coming when I will make a brand-new covenant with Israel and Judah.

ROMANS 9:4-5 (HCSB)
They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises. The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
All the covenant agreements that God made with his people lead to Jesus the Messiah.

PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for the long rich process which set the stage for Jesus the Messiah. Forgive me for forgetting that history and the role that our Jewish siblings have played in leading the rest of us to faith. I pray for those who do not yet have a relationship with the Messiah, that they, too, might come to embrace him and his new covenant. I'm going to look for ways to honor them because I honor Jesus. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
