Your ministry, O Lord,
How excellent it is;
A better covenant,
And better promises;
Enacted on a better law.
Of such You are Executor.

A better covenant,
And better promises;
A better law of life
And sacrifice this is.
Redemption’s work, done long ago,
A better blood has made it so.

In Hebrews eight we see
The way to make us whole;
Life planted deep within,
Which spreads into the soul.
The law of life, imparted, still
Inscribed in mind, emotion, will.

The law of letters leave,
The law of life pursue;
The one is old and dead,
The other fresh and new.
Dead teachings cannot help the seed;
The law of life is what we need.

The law of life in us,
In function now we see,
Works not by will and thought
But automatically.
It saturates, conforms to Him;
The standard model spreads within.

Our sins are all forgiv’n,
His life imparted too;
God is our God today,
And we’re His people true.
We know Him in an inward way:
These blessings four have come to stay.

We’re being sonized now;
The life within will do
The deep transforming work
Of making us anew.
In ages past, the work was done—
Now prayer is over—praise the Son!

ONE MEDIATOR
------------------
In 1 Timothy 2:5 Paul continues, “For there is one God and one Mediator of God and men, the Man, Christ Jesus. ” In this verse Paul explicitly says that there is one God. Although God is Triune—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—He is still the one God, not three Gods, as mistakenly realized and believed by many Christians.
In this verse Paul also tells us that there is one Mediator of God and men. A mediator is a go-between. The one Mediator is the Man, Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus was God from eternity (John 1:1). In time He became a man through incarnation (John 1:14). While He was living on earth as a man, He was also God (1 Tim. 3:16). After resurrection He was still man as well as God (Acts 7:56 ; John 20:28). Hence, He is the only One qualified to be the Mediator, the go-between, of God and men.
THE TESTIMONY BORNE
IN ITS OWN TIMES
------------------
Verse 6 says, “Who gave Himself a ransom on behalf of all, the testimony to be borne in its own times. ” Christ gave Himself a ransom for the accomplishment of redemption for all men. This was necessary in order for Christ to be our Mediator. The Greek word for ransom means payment in recompense. He is qualified to be the Mediator between God and man, not only in His divine and human Person, but also in His redemptive work. Both His Person and work are unique.

While enjoying this wonderful hymn I was reminded of Romans 5:17:
For if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord! He has given us a ministry, which is of the Spirit and of life, not of law or of death. As we live our Christian life and church life, we want to open to the Lord to be constituted as ministers of the new covenant for the building up of the Body of Christ. Hallelujah 😀
