Because of the person and work of Jesus, we can cease striving for rest and live out of his rest

Jesus invites us into a new life lived in his presence.

Jesus not only has the authority to forgive sinners but he came to earth to forgive notorious sinners and restore them to God.

Jesus exercises his desire and authority to restore a broken, lonely, and desperate humanity.

Jesus called his disciples to fulfill his purpose of preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ so that Jesus could draw more disciples to himself who in turn would do the same as them. Jesus made disciples who would make disciples. We are those disciples who should continue to be used to call all men and women we can into this relationship with him.

Jesus is not only the originator of the Passover, but he is the True Passover. He has the authority to modify the Passover to more fully represent its reality, himself. Through his life and substitutionary death, he, the True Passover, provided an Exodus for us, the True Exodus, which sets us free from the slavery of sin and death and makes us children of God who can enter a truly free life.

Jesus gives us the benefits of the New Covenant through the cleansing of his blood and the regeneration of his Spirit. We will also see that he is alone is trustworthy to tell us how to receive these benefits.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Covenant of Grace through this New Covenant to grant God’s people the promised blessings in all the previous covenants. These blessings find their ultimate fulfillment in God’s people having God as their God and being his people.

God is Our Faithful God who gives a further revelation of the Covenant of Grace to reveal that king David’s descendant, Jesus Christ, would forever graciously reign over his people to give them peace and a permanent place with God as their God and them as his people.

God is Our Faithful God who gives a further revelation of the Covenant of Grace to reveal and codify his will for his people to show them how they are to live as his people and to show them how Christ is the only way to fulfill God’s perfect requirements, as well as to show those who will eventually come to Christ their need of him, and for all the rest to keep the world from being as bad as it co...

Children are not only part of the church, but just as in the commonwealth of Israel, children are members of God’s covenant. Since they are included within the covenant, they should receive the covenant sign of membership, which in the New Testament is baptism.

God is Our Faithful God who shows this by making promises, making a covenant, and giving signs to testify this to his people. Because of this we can have confidence in all God’s promises, just like Abraham did.

Our faithful God keep his promises by entering a covenant of life with Noah, all his offspring (all humanity), and every living creature, ensuring that God will preserve the world so that he will bring about his ultimate plan of making a people for himself through the promised seed, Jesus, fulfilling the Covenant of Grace.

Though Adam broke the covenant of works and plunged humanity into a life of sin and misery (which is separation from God), our faithful God made a covenant of grace to redeem us through Christ to a life of joy and fellowship with him.

The resurrection of Christ frees us.

Jesus came and brought his salvation for us in glorious triumph at great cost to himself. He did this so we could live lives that continually cry out “Hosanna!”, “Save us we pray!”

Jesus is not just a great teacher, but he is the one who has authority and power over the entire universe because he is the Holy One of God, the Son of God, the Christ.

Jesus is full of grace for those who recognize their need.

Jesus resists the temptation to reverse the role of man and God, submits to God because he trusts God and knows that he is loved by him.

Jesus, as the true Israel, empowered by the Spirit, refused to exchange the glory and majesty of God for a lie and instead put God's purpose for him first.

Jesus, as the true Israel, empowered by the Spirit, trusts in God's provision and because we have his Spirit, so can we.

Because Jesus was historical, fulfilled the OT promises and prophesies, and is the Son of God; we can put all our trust in him instead of ourselves.

Jesus is the Christ who was promised, who perfectly pleased God in all that he did, and so the Father poured out the Spirit upon Jesus to enable him to do his ministry of reconciling us to God.

The message of the coming judgment of God is good news to those who mourn over their sin and embrace the reality that Jesus lived, died, and rose again to cleanse us of our sin and make us a holy people.

Jesus always did what God, his Father, wanted him to do so that he could ultimately be the Savior of the world who would make us a people who do what God, our Father, wants us to do.
