HEBREWS 7 (The Message)
Hebrews 7 puts forth a "new covenant".

There's an online game that Evan enjoys watching Lisa or I play. Usually we play a round of it each evening. Okay, I confess ... it is Family Feud online. Sorry if that gives you an entirely different, and more honest, picture of our little family now. Heehee.

While you're playing this game, you can "chat" with text messages to the other players. I was playing a few weeks ago and one of the other players started talking about being Jewish. It all started with some comment that she had made about Jesus. This led to a discussion amongst the players, and it really didn't seem to be going anyplace good. One of the other players was a ten-year-old boy and he couldn't understand why this other person didn't worship Jesus. The Jew wasn't doing a very good job of getting her point across. I was afraid of the ten-year-old coming away with a really bad impression so I stepped in and tried to explain things a bit about how Jews recognize Jesus as a prophet but not the Son of God. I am not sure I really helped matters but I tried.

In any event, I wish I would have had Hebrews 7 handy in my mind and been able to talk more specifically to the new covenant offerd by the New Testament. The Jew online was unfortunately getting a bit combative though despite my best attempts to keep everyone calm so perhaps things were fine the way they were. It all only lasted a few minutes and our game was over so we signed off. I pray that I handled things properly and said the right things.
