Glorious rest

In Genesis, we learn that God chose a people through whom to send his Son. The Abrahamic Covenant promised that all nations would be blessed through him (Gen. 12:1-3; 15:18-21; 17:7-8; 22:17-18). The Mosaic Covenant described how God’s chosen people should live and demonstrated the need for a new covenant that would be fulfilled in Jesus (Jer. 31:33-34). The Davidic Covenant confirmed that David’s royal line would continue forever (2 Sam. 7:16). Today’s passage presents the One who will come through the descendants of David and reign forever. That will be a day of spiritual renewal!
