Jesus is the founding father of the New Covenant. The Old Testament repeatedly points to the Savior revealed in the New Testament. The Old Testament announced the coming Messiah; in the New Testament, we see that prophecy fulfilled and realized in the Everlasting Father. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef explores Jesus as the founding father of the New Covenant.

[00:00:00] You are listening to My Devotional, the daily devotional from Dr. Michael Youssef and Leading
[00:00:06] the Way.
[00:00:07] A New Covenant and a New People by Dr. Michael Youssef
[00:00:13] Jesus is the Founding Father of the New Covenant.
[00:00:17] The Old Testament repeatedly points to the Savior revealed in the New Testament.
[00:00:22] The Old Testament announced the coming Messiah.
[00:00:24] In the New Testament, we see that prophecy fulfilled and realized in the Everlasting
[00:00:29] Father.
[00:00:30] In the New Covenant, we acknowledge that we deserve eternal damnation because of our sins,
[00:00:36] but that Jesus Christ paid for our death sentence on the cross.
[00:00:40] We are assured eternal salvation if we receive His gift of forgiveness and walk with Him by
[00:00:45] faith.
[00:00:46] For this reason, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those called may receive
[00:00:52] the promised eternal inheritance now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from
[00:00:58] the sins committed under the first covenant.
[00:01:01] Jesus is also the Founding Father of a new people, a group comprised of every person living
[00:01:07] under the new covenant.
[00:01:09] This new clan of people is the church, gathering people from every nation, every tribe, and every
[00:01:15] corner of the globe.
[00:01:41] Let's pray together.
[00:01:42] Lord, thank you for being our Everlasting Father and for preparing a place for us in
[00:01:48] heaven.
[00:01:49] Thank you for bridging the gap between humanity and God and establishing the new covenant.
[00:01:56] Thank you for your church and your love for us.
[00:01:59] We pray this in the name of Jesus.
[00:02:01] Amen.
[00:02:03] Amen.
