COVENANT

Galatians :

"Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it."

"For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise."

"For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.

But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise."

"Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise."


Hebrew 8

"For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second."

"He takes away the first that He may establish the second."

"A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete.


La Terre Promise

Over sighting the rail,
A glimpse of the Holy works,
A patch of blue on a canvas,
And traces of green along the coast.

The Master of the skilled,
Sustains the beauty of the altarpiece,
The picturesque rainfall,
And the inclement atmosphere,
Agreeing with the rays of grey.

The Altar and the Darkness,
The genesis of indifference,

To the warring in a heart,
And the fear of relinquishing.

The path in the Highway,
The silence of knowing,
The strength of Joy,
The malaise of Hope,
A preparation to the Kingdom.
