Christ - Our Covenant Head

When our precious Christ entered into the covenant, it was officially on the part of a covenant people, the living church of the Living God. When He gave forth the promise to bruise the serpent’s head, it was on behalf of His covenant people, His seed. When He set forth all the types and shadows under the Mosaic economy (time of Moses), it was officially for a covenant people and although some persons seem to deny this, their denial amounts to nothing but falsehood for we know from Scripture that the sacrifices were for all Israel. Moreover, when He is pointed out by the prophets, His coming is on behalf of His covenant people. And when He came into this world, He said: I came to search for My sheep, I know My sheep and I am known of mine.” There is a connection, an official union, a special purpose pointed out in these Scriptures and many more. There was a design to be accomplished that the election of Grace, chosen in the council of Peace, distinct from the world, adopted as His family and registered in the Book of Life; when fallen and ruined and lost, enslaved and vile, should be redeemed, should be forgiven, should be saved and Jesus Christ should be the Doer of it. He was the Official Covenant Head; He engaged to enter into the work and to go through with it and complete it, WHICH HE DID when He tabernacled here below.
