"New" covenant

Zechariah 1 'Return to me,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'and I will return to you,'
A song comes to mind, by Matt Redmond, Heart of Worship.
When the music fades, and all is stripped away, and I simply come.
Longing just to bring, something's thats of worth, that will bless your heart....
Though I'm weak and poor, all i have is yours....every single breath.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship, cuz it's all about you, Jesus.

No music, no trumped up theatrics, no Disney animation or Martha Stewart....HA! ...only everything I have.....is all God desires.

Hebrews 8:7For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
God gave us Jesus as the new covenant. And the writer of Hebrews has masterfully set up the Jews in his writing to recognize this new covenent in Jesus as the fulfillment of prophesy.
Whether this book was written by Paul or Apollos (or some other) he was surely passionate about the Jews.
13By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
Hey...fellow Jews....your old ways....dont cut it any longer. Our God no longer requires sacrifice, his SON was that. Quit wasting your time looking for the Messiah...he is here.
