"No, you're not, Captain," Napoleon
repeated. Then, asking the soldier's name,
Napoleon said, "Captain, you will ride next to
me and review the troops."
Napoleon was the high commander. This
man was his soldier. He made him what
he wanted him to be because he had the
authority to do so.
That's how it is with covenant. Covenant
is the greater lifting up the lesser and putting
him up on an equal plain with the greater.
It's what Almighty God did when He entered
covenant with Abraham. And it's what He did
for us through Jesus!
Take the High Ground…and Stand
This is what the Apostle Paul was saying in
2 Corinthians 5, where he wrote:
For the love of Christ constraineth us;
because we thus judge, that if one died for all,
then were all dead: and that he died for all,
that they which live should not henceforth
live unto themselves, but unto him which
died for them, and rose again…. Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things
are become new. And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation (verses 14–15, 17-18).
That is covenant talk! Paul is reminding
us that Jesus came as our covenant
Representative. That He shed His blood,
died and rose again so that we could die with
Him to sin, and be raised again with Him to
new life.
Through the New Covenant we've
become one with Jesus. He's alive, so we're
alive. What's more, He's no longer the only
begotten Son of God; He is the Firstborn of
many. In the First Covenant, the fi rstborn got
everything. As believers, because we're "in
Christ," we've been given fi rstborn status in
the covenant of Almighty God.
Jesus took us from being nobodies and
made us somebodies!
Remember how God said to Abraham, "As
for me"? Jesus is saying the same to us: "As
for Me, here it is. There's a covenant between
My Father and Me, and by believing in Me
you can get in on it."
This is why Philippians 2 tells us, "Let
