"Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant," Hebrews 12:24.
(Again? Yes. The Good Book seems to make a big deal about this.) Where are we? We are not at Mt. Sinai: material, fire, darkness, gloom, tempest, blaring horn, thundering voice, accusation, execution, fear. No. We are come to Mt. Zion: spiritual, city of the living God, Jerusalem in the sky, angels in party regalia, with numberless people on heaven's list, to God himself (!), to Jesus mediator, to his blood that speaks grace and forgiveness.
We visit with a brother or sister today looking into heaven where God is lifting us. And together we thank him for moving us from a terminal sentence of gloom into his eternity of joy.
