The Body of Christ (continued)

As I was woke this morning, the phrase, "the Blood of the everlasting covenant", was in my mind.  I went to the Word to check it.  The praise in my heart was for the precious gift Jesus gave us of His Blood.  Many of you know how I have marveled at the wisdom of God in making the human body so He could complete His plan of salvation and His purpose in making man in His image.  When Jesus suffered in our place, His Blood fell to the ground and remains in this realm.  The power, the Life, the nature of God is in the Blood.   It has never lost its power!     Hebrews 13::20-21(KJV)  20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
I want also to include another version.  Hebrews 13:20-21(NLT)  20 Now may the God of peace—who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—21 may he equip you with all you need for doing his will.  May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him.  All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. 
He, Who is at work in you, is able to complete that which He began and present you faultless to the Father.  He is ABLE. 
This rings in my spirit and I know the realization of the Power that is loosed by your faith will create that praise and worship in your spirit without ceasing.  We are a part of the work of God.  Not only are we the result of His work, we are a part of His continuing work in the earth.  What a privilege.  What an awesome God!
