Hebrews 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
Yesterday’s verses were a reminder of the terrible place they were NOT. Today’s verses are a look at Mount Zion, where they are: City of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem. Thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly. The church of the firstborn. The spirits of the righteous made perfect.
Hebrews 12:23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
However, arrival at Mount Zion is not a guarantee. Verse 25 tells us, “See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks.” We have choices, and we can choose poorly. But we can’t say we didn’t know.
Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
Precious Savior, Thank You for Your Word, for Your encouragement, for Your reminder of the choices we have. Help me to choose You again and again and again. Amen.
Hebrews 12:25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?
Have a blessed day.
