God Has Got Us Covered. What Does That Mean?
Manage episode 481950982 series 2868412
Have you ever stopped to ask what it really means when we say “God has us covered”? Is it just a nice phrase, or does it point to something far more powerful—something that reaches all the way back to the Garden of Eden, through the Old Testament tabernacle, and straight to the cross?
In this mind-bending episode, Randy and I dive headfirst into the rich biblical imagery of covering—from the cloud on the mountain at the Transfiguration to the curtain in the temple being torn in two, and all the way to the empty tomb flanked by angels like the Ark of the Covenant.
We explore how this idea of covering ties directly into God’s authority, our identity in Christ, and the very foundation of salvation.
💥 “What you’re covered by is what defines you—and it’s the lens through which God sees you.”
This episode isn’t just a deep dive—it’s a theological roller coaster. Buckle up, because by the end, you’ll never look at the words covering, atonement, or righteousness the same way again.
