JESUS THE SURETY OF A BETTER COVENANT

The better consists just in this very thing, that it undertakes to provide the children of the Covenant with the very dispositions they need, to accept and enjoy it. We have seen how the heart is just the central object of the Covenant promise. A heart circumcised to love God with all the heart, a heart into which God’s law and fear have been put, so that it will not depart from Him - it is of all this Jesus is the Surety under the oath of God.

Let us say it once more: Surely the one thing God asks of us, and has given the Covenant and its?Surety to secure - the confident trust that all will be done in us that is needed—-is what we dare not withhold.

I think some of us are beginning to see what has been our great mistake. We have thought and spoken great things of what Christ did on the Cross, and does on the Throne, as Covenant Surety. And we have stopped there.?But we have not expected Him to do great things in our hearts.?And yet it is there, in our heart, that the consummation takes place of the work on the Cross and the Throne; in the heart the New Covenant has its full triumph; the Surety is to be known not by what the mind can think of Him in heaven, but by what he does to make Himself known in the heart.?

There?is the place where His love triumphs and is enthroned. Let us with the heart believe and receive Him as the Covenant Surety. Let us, with every desire we entertain in connection with it, with every duty it calls us to, with every promise it holds out, look to Jesus, under God’s oath the Surety of the Covenant. Let us believe that by the Holy Spirit the heart is His home and His throne. Let us, if we have not done it yet, in a definite act of faith, throw ourselves utterly on?Him, for the whole of the New Covenant life and walk. No surety was ever so faithful to his undertaking?as Jesus will be to His on our behalf, in our hearts.

(from "The Two Covenants" by Andrew Murray)
