A hypocrite wears a mask. It's a mask that hides defaults and conforms to surrounding expectations. In playing a role, hypocrites live fragmented lives. In Jesus, believers can abandon their masks. The grace of forgiveness and His new life in us allows us to drop pretence and live authentically. We are free to draw near to Him, press on with confidence and experience genuine love in community. We become real.Jesus, Our Sacrifice: The God of promises has given two great covenants. Today many tend to ignore the principles and patterns of the "Old Covenant." The author of Hebrews does not. The Old Covenant is mandatory to understand the New Covenant. These two great promises must be held together. In this 10-message series from Hebrews, Dr. John Neufeld explains the vital value of the first covenant and its glorious fulfillment by Jesus. The pattern and practices of the tabernacle illuminate the treasure of God's grace offered to all through the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus.
