Simply Beautiful. haha.

Hebrews 7:22
by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

haha. I didn't know exactly what surety is so I went to check the online dictionary as well as the greek word for it.

In Greek, surety there is Egguos which means a surety, a sponsor. haha. Interesting yea. haha. Jesus is the surety, the SPONSOR of a BETTER covenant. haha.
He is the one who paid for it and make sure all things run well. :D

In English, surety means:

1. security against loss or damage or for the fulfillment of an obligation, the payment of a debt, etc.; a pledge, guaranty, or bond.
2. a person who has made himself or herself responsible for another, as a sponsor, godparent, or bondsman.
3. the state or quality of being sure.
4. Certainty.
5. something that makes sure; ground of confidence or safety.
6. a person who is legally responsible for the debt, default, or delinquency of another.
7. assurance, esp. self-assurance.

haha. Jesus came to pay a debt that you and I couldn't pay.

Acts 13:38-39
38 "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
39 "and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

2 Corinthians 5:19, 21
19 ... God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them ...
21 For He made Him [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him [Christ Jesus].

Romans 4:25
who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

haha. Isn't it beautiful? That is all because of us that Jesus came and did so much. And He is risen again! To make sure that we are justified and not only that but also to make sure that all that He died to provide us with, we get~ :D Loves.

Hebrews 7:26
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners....

haha. The rest of the verse is very beautiful but I wanna catch your attention to the bold part. It is SO beautiful leh. Daddy really wants the best for us. He feels that nothing else was good enough for us except His Dear Darling Son. It was for US leh. Put your own name there~ Not to put a feather on your hat and making yourself so great and worthy but it just shows the Father's heart of wanting nothing but the BEST for us! That's why He gave HIS Son.

I received all these by the undeserved favor of Daddy.

Romans 5:17
... much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Notice you receive abundance of undeserved favor first then the gift of righteousness? The gift that comes from the sacrifice of the Lamb.

Okay cool. haha. Gonna go Rest. :D

Jesus satisfies me. Loves. :D
