A word about the “new hour”
The redemption of the Cross, the shedding of the blood of Jesus, brought in a new hour. Time was finished & eternity had begun for every soul that was covered with the blood. Until that hour all people lived only to die. but the moment the sacrifice was made, it was not the end; only the beginning. Time was finished & eternity had begun.
The soul that was covered by the blood moved from a natural to an eternal union with the Lord. Then the commandment, “Thou shalt not”, which had so worried & troubled the people & brought them into such dissatisfaction because they could not keep the Law, was changed into a new commandment. It was no more “thou shalt not”, but. “I delight to do thy will, O God.” (Ps 40:8)
“In Adam all die” (1 Cor 15:22). but now “the hour has come” (Mark 14:41) “In Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22)
Instead of death will be divine life in all of its fullness. Jesus Christ has done so much for us. We must ever keep our Faith placed in what He did at the Cross.
