On the one hand, Christ is the Mediator and the Executor of the new and better covenant, and on the other hand Christ Himself was given by God as a covenant to His people! In at least one place in Isaiah Jehovah says that He has “set” Christ as a covenant to His people – […]
Christ was given by God as a covenant and as a light to the nations – we can enjoy Him in our spirit!
Jesus Christ became a covenant to us: He is the Mediator and Executor of the new covenant!
God’s heart’s desire is not for man to serve Him and be submissive to Him; God desires to give all He is to man so that man may enjoy Him and express Him! This is why God created man and put man in front of the tree of life – He wanted man to enjoy […]
being saved from concerns, worries, and natural thoughs into Christ and the fellowship of the Body! (testimony)
I recently visited Latin America for three weeks. I blended with some churches who are pursuing Christ in the middle of a quite complicated political context, amidst poverty and practical limitations – especially related to moving or gathering together.

in His ascension Christ led us in a train of vanquished foes and made us gifts to the Body of Christ!
There are some window-words in the book of Isaiah through which we can see much more, with the help of the entire Bible, than what Isaiah wrote about these matters.

In the book of Isaiah, there are some “windows” into seeing what Christ’s resurrection accomplished – as Isaiah 53:10-11 reveals, When He makes Himself an offering for sin, He will see a seed, He will […]
In His resurrection Christ became the life-giving Spirit – now the Lord Jesus is the Spirit!
This is such a crucial truth seen everywhere in the Bible! In His resurrection Christ as the last Adam became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45)! God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ, lived a perfect human life on earth (in which He expressed God, even though He was persecuted, criticized, and was […]
by His bruise we were healed – we can apply the death of Christ to our being and be healed!
One particular aspect of Christ’s all-inclusive death is that Christ died for us to be healed! “By whose bruise you were healed” (1 Pet. 2:24-25) – we have been healed by Christ’s bruise! We were dead (Eph. 2:1) but Christ’s suffering of death healed our death so that we may live in His resurrection. He […]
