What have we come to? Have you ever gone on holiday, arrived at your accommodation and asked that question? It's sometimes not very nice or it's so good it's over and above what you expected from the brochure and we've maybe all experienced both scenarios.
The writer of Hebrews though tells us very clearly what we have come to now. Let's take a look...
Hebrews 12:22 No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. Wow, sounds really good so far, but he continues...
v.23 You have come to the assembly of God's firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect. It just gets better and better and then he says this...
v.24 You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance, like the blood of Abel.
Mount Zion represents God's Grace whereas Mount Sinai represented The Law. We need to make sure we're not stuck in the Old Covenant under Mt. Sinai but come to Mt. Zion, the mountain of grace.
So if you have come into God's kingdom and you wonder what you have come to, the Holy Spirit spelled it out for us in this chapter of Hebrews and I love the way He saved the best bit till last...You have come to Jesus; you have come to Grace and Truth Himself. I hope that makes your heart sing as you see Him with His arms of love open wide to receive you today.
Thank you Heavenly Father for Jesus who made it all possible.
