Hi to all and I had to chuckle , at one poster's comment on what this OP is all about !!
There are many things that Jesus did , and to DIE was one of them and also to get his people to REPENT , but we see , that when 2 Cor 3:13-17 was written , Israel was being set aside !!
Rom 15:8 reads , Now I say ( that ) Jesus Christ HAD BECOME a servant of ( THE ) CIRCUMCISION for God's truth , in order to MAKE SECURE the PROMISES of the Fathers
The first verb is in the Greek PRESENT TENSE of Jesus earthly ministry !!
The second verb , WAS or HAD BECOME is in the Greek PERFECT TENSE and means that Jesus last 4 years were to be a SERVANT or MINISTER of the CIRCUMCISION or to JEWS only !!
And that means to MAKE SECURE the PROMISES made to the FATHERS !!
#1, The promise of a National land !!
#2 , The promise of Redemption !!
#3 , The promise of the DAVIDIC COVENANT !!
#4, The promise of the New Covenant !!
