God’s new covenant

Jeremiah 31.31-34

God promises a new covenant. It will not be like previous covenants, nor like the written Law that the people had broken. The new covenant will be written on people’s hearts, and is summarised: ‘I will be their God and they shall be my people.’ Everyone will know God – and God’s forgiveness.

These passages introduce us to some big challenges. Can we grasp the idea that God’s grace is offered and God’s promise made truly to all people? Do we see ‘difference’ as a good thing? How prone are we to ‘othering’ those we perceive as unlike us?
