The City Of The Living God


For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them.  For they could not bear the command, “If even a beast touches the mountain it will be stoned.”

And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I am full of fear and trembling.”

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to myriads of angels, to the general assemble and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Able.

See that you do not refuse Him who is speaking….

Hebrews 12:18-25

People have some interesting views of Christianity.  Some think that it is something to be afraid of because they may be judged or made to feel uncomfortable.  After all, Moses feared God. 

That was before Jesus came.  Jesus changed all of that because He became our direct link to God.  When we ask Jesus to be our Lord, Master and Savior, the gates of heaven are thrown open to the City of the Living God, who loves us and desires our worship and prayers.    

Do not hesitate to approach God.  He is waiting for you and so are myriads of angels.   Ask Jesus to be your Lord, Master and Savior.
