SID: But we can’t do it with what is known as the Old Covenant. Why can’t we? The temple was destroyed in 70 AD, but have no fear. God didn’t leave us without a way, a path to be holy. He says in the prophet Jeremiah that there is a new, N-E-W, covenant coming and in fact, He compares it to the old. This is in Jeremiah 31:31-34. “‘The day is coming,’ says the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant though I love them as a husband loves his wife,’ says the Lord.”
SID: “‘But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,’ says the Lord. ‘Number one, I’m going to put my instructions or my words deep within them in that living sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, their body. That’s number one and I will even write them on their hearts inside their Holy of Holies. Number two, they will not need to teach their neighbors nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying “You should know the Lord,” for everyone will know me.'” Now, here has to be a starting point for everyone to know him and that starting point is when the word of God or God himself is living inside of you. Then the third, if that would have been enough as we say at Pesach or Passover, but the third benefit according to Jeremiah is, “I will forgive their wickedness and I will never again remember their sins.”
SID: Well we had to have Yom Kippur every year, but God says there’s coming a sacrifice for the one greater than Moses or the messiah where He won’t even look at our sins anymore. They won’t just be covered. They will be obliterated. It’s explained in the Book of Galatians, the third chapter, the 24th verse. “So the law was our tutor to bring us to messiah that we might be justified or acquitted of sin by faith.” You see, justified is a legal term that means acquit. We’re totally acquitted. We’re free. We’re declared not guilty in the courtroom of heaven. The word gospel means good news. The good news is God’s love story of the restoration of the human race.
SID: You have to understand that my father was born in Poland, and this symbol of the greatest anti-Semitism to him was Christianity. So when I became a believer in the messiah, a public believer in the messiah, he couldn’t put it together. It made no sense to him and he wouldn’t let me explain to him, but one day, he said, “Okay. Show me why this Jesus is the messiah.” I went to a prophecy by the Jewish prophet Isaiah and this is what I read. It’s Isaiah 53:1 and I got as far as Verse 11.
