"You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God," Hebrews 12:22.
Victory! This is the sky kingdom! The heavenly Jerusalem! You have come to the (multiplied) million angel gathering! Dressed for celebration! To the Congregation of the Firstborn! To the gathering made up of you and all peoples ever registered in the sky! You've come to God, the Judge! To the spirits of perfected righteous people! You've come to Jesus' sprinkled blood! Compared to what (good grief, are we kidding!)? We have not come to scorching, burning fire, to darkness, to gloom, to hurricane, cacophonous horns, to terror words of damnation. No! Jesus' bloody sacrifice calls for mercy, against Abel's blood's just cry for vengeance. Mercy. Grace. Joy. Sky kingdom!
Joined with a brother or sister today, we celebrate victory in the sky kingdom's streets! Jesus paid it all; all to him we owe. And, together, with the chosen from every nation, we give joyful thanks for life with Christ.
