Hebrews 10:1 “For the law having a shadow of good things to come...”
When you see a shadow of something, you can guarantee that the object is close by or visible. Did you know that God concealed “shadows” throughout the Old Testament law pointing to Jesus sacrifice on the cross? The law was only a shadow of the good things to come, it was not the real thing. Would a shadow of a hamburger satisfy you? No, it’s only a shadow.
The real has come and His name is Jesus. Hallelujah, we are no longer under the law, we are under grace (Romans 6:14). The good things that He brings are long life, peace, health, joy, rest, contentment, security, protection and so much more. We don’t need to earn or deserve them. They are ours right now because of the cross of Christ. We have been redeemed from the curse of the law, Jesus being made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). The law was only a shadow of the good things to come. In 2021, God wants you to expect and enjoy the good things in the good life He provided through His Son Jesus (John 10:10).
