Renewing Your Mind · The Covenant of Redemption · 29 Sep 2026 podcast

Well, I think the immediate answer comes here in the a context of John seventeen, five, and now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

So here Jesus is saying implicitly that the Father gave a work for the Son to accomplish before the world existed.

So it's something that doesn't unfold in history, but prior to history, before the creation of the world.

Another passage that gives us, I think, more information in this respect comes to us in Psalm 110, verse 1.

Where here Yahweh's words get spoken to David's Lord, the Lord says to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

Now the New Testament confirms that these are words that were ultimately spoken between the Father and the Son.

Hebrews 1:13, and to which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?

So what the psalmist here is saying.

is the psalmist is saying that, hey, I've been allowed to eavesdrop upon an ongoing conversation between the Father and the Son.

And in particular, the language of sitting at the Father's right hand has to do with the Son's kingdom.

This I think connects us back to Luke 22, 29, when he says, The Father covenanted to me a kingdom, when he says, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

I think another statement worthy of our attention again comes to us from Psalm one hundred and ten, where in verse four we read this The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Now remember, swearing an oath is the way that parties create a covenant.

And so this means we can read Psalm one hundred and ten, verse four, as follows The Lord has covenanted.

and will not change his mind, you are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

And notice how the author of Hebrews explains Psalm one hundred and ten, verse four, when he says this in Hebrews chapter seven, verses twenty and following, and it was not without an oath.

Here's that word.

Remember, we said swearing an oath is a way to create a covenant.

And it was not without an oath.

For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath.
