That, in a sense, is a "new" covenant, but it in reality renews the "Old" one, and as Jesus himself says, fulfills it. I also believe Jesus expands it to all nations and peoples, as again he demonstrates during his ministry.<br /><br />The image is a close-up of "Christ's Image" by Heinrich Hofmann (1824-1911.)

(I'm still somewhat tentative about this.)<br /><br />Question to ponder: How does the concept of the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34) fit into Unitarian Christian theology, and what role does Jesus play in its fulfillment?<br /><br />By the way, I like the above painting. At least Jesus looks Jewish! Who was the artist?DougieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354592969707118951noreply@blogger.com
