This week's sermon with Pastor David took us on a journey through Hebrews 9, exploring the powerful theme of Jesus as the mediator of a new covenant. The message compared the sacrifices of the Old Testament, tied to the temple rituals, with Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Pastor David likened this to life insurance, where the benefits are fully realized only after a death. He explained how Jesus took on our sins, offering Himself as a spotless lamb, providing eternal life as the new covenant's promise. Pastor David emphasized that it is only through faith in Jesus that we receive forgiveness and the promise of eternal life. In essence, Jesus' death was necessary to cleanse us of sin, and His resurrection assures us of our salvation.
