But as brilliant and ahead of its time as it was, it was God’s covenant or contract with ancient Israel. Not you. Not me. Not only was the Sinai covenant, as it is sometimes referred to, created for the benefit of a specific group of people, it was created for a specific time frame as well. God’s Sinai covenant with Israel was temporary. Important, strategic, divinely ordained, but temporary. It was a means to an end. In Christ, it came to an end.
