The Bail Bondsman

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!! :) LOL

Grace and Peace Everyone,

Hebrews 7:22 says, " By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament." KJV

Chapter 7 is discussing the differences between the priesthood from Aarons descent and of Melchizedak and comparing the latter with Christ. But I want to focus on the word surety.

Now the greek word for surety is egguos (pronounced eng-goo-os)and it means "pledged" i.e. a bondsman.

Now let me give you some other definitions.............

Pledge- Something given or held as security to guarantee payment of a debt or fulfillment of an obligation.

Surety-  A pledge or formal promise made to secure against loss, damage, or default; a security. OR

One who has contracted to be responsible for another, especially one who assumes responsibilities or debts in the event of default

Bondsman- a person bound by bond to act as surety for another

Ok let me throw this all together.........

We defaulted in the garden of Eden falling into sin........Jesus became responsible for us, He assumed our debts that we owed God..... Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death.." Our debt was death!!!! An eternal seperation from God in Hell!

And He gave Himself as a security guarenteeing the payment of our debt....Romans 6:23, "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"

He did this by fulfilling the obligation of the law(which was perfection), Mathew 5:17,"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." and Romans 8:3-4, "By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us..." And dying on the Cross, then raising again!!!

Jesus is our Bondsman!!!!!!!!! He is our security!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!

If you ever been to jail before (like me) you can appreciate this..... The only difference is the case is finished! Jesus paid for it once and for all!!!!

I would like to encourage you all to rest in the security of Jesus, He isn't just our security in saving us from Hell but He is also our security in our everyday trails and tests. Be faithful!!!!

God is dope,

Israel
