Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Hebrews 13:20-21, “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
That the God of peace brought up from the dead the Lord Jesus “in the blood of the eternal covenant” means that the power of resurrection was in the blood.
Then Paul immediately applies this resurrection power to us: “. . . make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight.”
When the Lord was in the tomb, that was a death situation.
There was no feeling, there was no sensation.
There was a cessation of any kind of feeling.
It was blank because death was there in the tomb.
Yet the blood was working all the time.
The blood never ceased.
And it was the power of the blood that raised Him from the dead.
It was the blood of the eternal covenant.
That means the effectiveness of the blood is operating in us and over us when we do not feel a thing.
Be sure that when you are the lowest and when you have no emotion, the eternal blood is there.
The blood of the eternal covenant is there doing in us what is well pleasing in God’s sight.
Our relationship with God is steady and constant.
He is operating in our environment, moving a few things around to bring us to Himself directly.
All the while, the blood is there.
The blood is active.
Its effectiveness stands sure without interruption.
Until Tomorrow
With a Shepherd’s Love
