"You have come to the city of the living God!" Hebrews 12:22.
We have come to Mt. Zion! (Not to Mt. Sinai and the Law.) We have come to the Jerusalem in the sky! To angels, multiplied thousands in festive regalia! To the church of the first born children registered in the sky! To God, judge of all! To the spirits of the perfected righteous! To Jesus, mediator of the new covenant! To his sprinkled blood! (His speaks better than Abel's.) So, we hear. We will not refuse God (a consuming fire!). We listen. We offer him respectful and awed worship in living faith.
We meet with a brother or sister today carefully minding God. And together we offer praise and thanksgivings to the living God who saves us by grace.
