God’s new covenant with Israel, and subsequently with all nations, transcends the concept of a mere contract. Unlike a contract that can be negotiated, amended, or even broken, a covenant is something much deeper and more profound. It represents a fusion, a sacred joining of lives in love, where both parties invest themselves entirely and unconditionally into the relationship. This new covenant is embodied in a person — Jesus Christ — who exemplifies a life of intimacy, connection, and unconditional love.
As we explore how to embody and practice this new commandment of love, we will delve into what it means to walk in this way of living that Jesus invites us into — a journey that challenges us to become ever more compassionate, understanding, and devoted to one another in our daily lives. Together, we will seek to discover the richness of loving and serving one another as a reflection of Christ’s love for us.
