As long as you have a great friend…
When the storms of life overtake us, we must remember not to lose heart, so long as Jesus is our friend. He is the mediator of a better covenant than the one given to the forefathers, a new covenant enacted on better promises.
This offers pardon from sin, its guilt, and the negative effects it has on us and our families. His saving power is made available on the simplest condition: come to him with a repentant and humble heart to serve him. He removes any obstacles that prevent us from approaching God, making us worthy to enter his Kingdom.
Do we think of Jesus representing us before God?
We pray our families enter this new covenant with us in forgiveness and love. Amen.
