Just as Moses took the blood from the sacrifices and sprinkled it to enact the old covenant of the law, so the Lord Jesus shed His blood to enact the new covenant in His blood. The Lord Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, and in Him there was no sin, corruption, or sign of […]
Having a Daily Life of Eating and Drinking Christ as a Memorial in the New Jerusalem
It is so encouraging to know that we are becoming the NEW Jerusalem! Today we are in the process of being renewed day by day by having God’s element being wrought into us, and we will be so new that we will be called New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:1-2). In our natural man there’s nothing new, […]
