The New Covenant: Divorce, Remarriage, and a Mystery Unfolded - Part 2

In Part One, we traced the story of God’s covenant with Israel—how their unfaithfulness led to a divine “divorce,” and how the prophets promised a future restoration through a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah. But that was only the beginning.

In Part Two, we explore how Jesus, during His final Passover, inaugurated the New Covenant with His blood. Was this the fulfillment of Jeremiah’s prophecy—and what does it mean for those still clinging to the Old Covenant? We also examine the mystery revealed through Paul: the inclusion of the Gentiles. If the covenant was promised only to Israel and Judah, how are Gentiles brought in? Through Paul’s metaphors—like the olive tree in Romans and the language of adoption in Ephesians—we uncover the surprising expansion of God’s redemptive plan. Finally, we look at communion—not just as a memorial, but as a covenantal meal. What does it mean to eat and drink “in remembrance,” and why does Paul give such a serious warning about doing so unworthily?
