And Their Eyes Were Opened

And Their Eyes Were Opened ? See the difference between the Old and New Covenants. ? See the message of the cross interwoven throughout The Bible. ? See a Gospel that has the power to set the captives free. Millions of believers live in a secret world of confusion, neither really understanding the faith they hold central nor feeling safe enough to communicate the frustration they experience. Everyone else seems to "get it," but deep down inside, most believers don't, and once they think they've "got it," they read something in The Bible that dismantles their whole doctrinal puzzle all over again. The problem with the puzzle is that we lack the glue that fits it all together. That glue is the new covenant, or put another way, the promise of God. When we understand that The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, was inspired by God's new covenant plan in Jesus before the foundations of the world, all the random pieces of doctrine start to come together. Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and their eyes were opened to a false worldview, a world independent from God. Through the new covenant, the Holy Spirit's mission is to open our eyes anew to the mystery hidden for ages but now revealed to creation: Christ in you, the hope of glory. Robert Miner is a middle school teacher in the Los Angeles, California area, and lives with his wife Karen. For more than a decade he suffered from severe fear, depression and condemnation, and has learned to overcome through the revelations of grace and the liberating message of the new covenant in Christ.
