"Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore."
These beautiful words of New Covenant grace bless us today--thou-
sands of years after they were written. Note with me three aspects of it: 1) Christ's "peace" characterizes the New Covenant church age. In Jesus' blood atonement, all wars with God's holiness are ended. 2) This is an "everlasting" blessing. It's benefits never run out. And 3) Christ Himself dwells *with* His church, as He has "set [His] sanctuary in [our] midst."
For all of this wonder let us continually praise and bless the Triune God--who has been perfectly good to us in His incarnated Son.

mon, entitled, "God's Anatomy upon Man's Heart"]
