The night of His betrayal, the Lord Jesus gave the disciples fruit juice (wine) saying, (Matt 26:28) “For this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for the remission of sins.” A New Testament, a New Covenant as opposed to the Old that was made with Israel. Its purpose to remove our sins. The means – the very blood of the Lord Jesus! He began those Words by saying, “Drink ye all of it!” I WANT all of it! I want ALL of the Lord Jesus. I want all it means to be a Christian, to be identified with Him! I want it even if it means being rejected of loved ones, fellow workers, or neighbors. Nothing is more important than to be His in EVERY WAY!
Amen; as the spokes of a wheel bind its rim to the hub at its center, so must each part of our lives be bound to Jesus Christ; it is when “in all our ways” we acknowledge Him, that God’s direction is most fulfilled. Rejoicing in Christ, Dr. Wirth – Pastoring Hope Chapel
