"And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth."
This made me ponder on probates and wills. I had never put this verses together with a "last will and testament". How it's not in effect until the testator dies. Then those that will inherit have a right to the estate. Christ needed to die before we could be blessed to inherit all that the Father has. His atonement and resurrection really are a new testament.
