Analysis of New Covenant Ministry



Christ is the mediator,
Being a new covenant;
As a negotiator,
And being the eminent.

For the promise we receive,
Eternal inheritance;
To all of you who believe,
Through committed repentance.

As where a will is involved,
The death of the one who made;
Will of the testate dissolved,
No longer the will that strayed.

A will takes effect at death,
Not a force when made alive;
Willing no longer with breath,
As spiritual strength to survive.

Neither the first testament,
Dedicated without blood;
Neither the first covenant,
Inaugurated the flood.

Each commandment of the Law,
In which Moses had declared;
The blood of Christ clears a flaw,
So eternal life is spared.

The blood of the testament,
Which God has enjoined in you;
Commands the new covenant,
As His Word will continue.

To sprinkle blood on the tent,
And the vessels for worship;
The ministry testament,
That we do drink from the cup.

Under the Law purified,
Through the forgiveness of sin;
The blood of the crucified,
Allows new life to begin.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
