What a great passage to meditate on. I include the next verse as well:

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen (KJV)


Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (RSV)

20May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (NIV)

The Great Shepherd of the Sheep! I like that.

Shepherd me, O Lord!

You don't have to excerpt Spurgeon's sermons. AFAIK, He didn't copyright them and any possible copyright ran out 100 years ago.

Why don't you repost the whole sermon on another thread?

Great reading. God has always been the covenant keeper and men the covenant breakers. I rest in His covenant knowing that where I fail He is perfect.

Men work without rest to earn what he gives freely in His grace.. I rest in Him :)

1 Cor 11:24-26

"This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

*As Redeemed Christians, we Catholics gather with the Priest at the altar to offer to God the pluperfect Sacrifice of the New Covenant. Jesus is the Priest, (both Priest and victim) and through the priesthood He perfected, He offers Himself to God (and we participate in that offering as members of the Royal Priesthood)as an act of propitiation and to call down Grace upon we Christians and our families - living and dead.

We Reedeemed Christians then are honoured to participate in the New Covenant Meal, the Heavenly Banquet, when we consume the Eucharist - the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Jesus our Saviour.
