We are made for covenantal love- the kind of love that is committed and lasting, in spite of when one side falls short of expectations. We see this primarily in the love that God has for us, that in spite of the shortcomings of his people (both communally and personally), he calls out to us “I will be your God, and you will be my people”. God does this through a new kind of priest- one who isn’t made a priest because of his lineage, but because of how he lived a perfect life. This priest is Jesus- the king of peace and righteousness, the one who upholds our end of the covenant with God.
