There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal 3:28)
Recently, I saw a movie that I would consider a tearjerker. The British movie Hand In Hand was made in 1961. I had seen it many years back, and the Lord had me watch it for some strange reason. This movie is centered on two children about the age of 10. The boy was Catholic, and the girl was Jewish.
They went to school together, and the girl, whose name is Rachel, was made fun of by her classmates. Michael, the Catholic boy, took a liking to her and was actually protective of her. Throughout the film, they fall in love (Puppy love) and want to spend time together. One of the scenes that ministered to me was when Rachel’s parents were talking about moving away. Rachel was heartbroken and shared the news with Michael.
Michael decides to do a blood covenant with Rachel so that they can develop a closer relationship. They cut their fingers and mix their blood. Throughout the movie, they grow closer together until tragedy strikes. ( For the conclusion, I have provided the link below).
We Have A Covenant With Jesus.
When Michael and Rachel mixed their blood, it reminded me of Jesus and how he hung on the cross for our sins. Going through all sorts of agony, he spilled his blood for us, creating a blood covenant. Think about it, his blood runs through our veins. His blood is mixed with ours, making us one with him at the moment we invite him into our hearts. (Acts 17:26)
In the movie Hand in Hand, Michael visits Rachel’s Jewish synagogue. His parents tell Michael that it is a sin to visit the synagogue, but because he loves Rachel, he does it. The film has its funny moments, when Michael steps into the synagogue and expects God to strike him dead. Through the service, nothing happens and the people are friendly and make him feel welcome.
When we remember our blood covenant, His Spirit will give us revelation knowledge that transcends religion. We will learn to enter into his grace and not see God as a cranky old man with a long beard armed with a club to hit you on your head when we sin. God longs to pour out his mercy and grace. This movie is a must-see, so take some time to watch it. It will be worth your time. I have also enclosed Wednesday and Sunday’s Bible study. Be blessed.
