Biblical Vision 4: New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:27-34)

“This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:33)

This week we return to our theme of Biblical Visions and look at Jeremiah’s prophecy of a coming ‘new covenant’, which will bring forgiveness and transformed hearts and minds.

Harvest (Matthew 6:25-33)

‘But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.’ (Matthew 6:33)

In this time of harvest, we are first reminded to seek the Kingdom, trusting in God completely. Then, we are called to BE the Kingdom to others around us, showing hospitality, love, and mercy in the face of scarcity, anxiety, or fear. As Jesus said, can any one of you, by worrying, add a single hour to your life? Instead, let’s trust in God’s provision and show love to those around us.
