[FS] An Unshakeable Kingdom

That is wonderful. And he says to here, the way that we are able to do that in the new covenant, and and I think that's kind of that even also thing, the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than Abel. The way that we get in is because of the blood of Jesus Christ. There's no other key. There's no other door. There's no way I can obey the law and work my way and be stuck at Mount Sinai. I can only get in through Mount Zion through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. [01:01:36] (35 seconds)  #SavedByJesusBlood

See, that's just such a great thing to to be able to understand and to know that access we have in design. You have been brought to Zion. Well, we've looked at it. We're not at shakable Mount Sinai where we don't have to fear judgment and and all of the things of the law or futilely try and get there on our own, that we've been brought to Mount Zion by God's grace.

So we've come not to a mountain of fear, but a mountain of grace and of God's presence. When you go through tough times, isn't it great to know that? In all that we're doing to be able to stand back and to say, you know what? I don't need to keep just trying to do this on my own. I come to God and his grace. That's a beautiful, beautiful picture.

And that's what the writer of Hebrews is doing. This is the last of five warnings that the writer of Hebrews has given us concerning the need to come to Jesus Christ for salvation. And he's saying, if you think you're there, just check and make sure because this is a big deal. And that's what he's letting us know here. Do you see the pleading voice that he has here? At the beginning of this passage as we would study and we we take a look at what he's saying. [01:10:36] (30 seconds)  #HeedHebrewsWarning

But you know what the writer of Hebrews says? He says, you've not come to Mount Sinai. The trembling and everything that was going on there. He says there's something more there. That's God's law, and that's what was brought. The writer or the writer, yeah, Paul, when he wrote Galatians in Galatians chapter three, he says, therefore, the law is what? A tutor or a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ. That's its job. [00:45:06] (30 seconds)  #LawAsTutorToChrist

We're shaken by that, and we don't understand, and we are gonna fall short of everything that God wants. And he says, guess what? I haven't brought you to shakable Mount Sinai. That's not where we're supposed to live, to live in that area of fear and uncertainty and all of the trembling. And that's the first point he has. Don't get stuck there. Do you know Christians that get stuck at Mount Sinai? That will say, oh, I'm just trembling. I just can't do enough that God want. The whole it's the whole point we can't do enough to earn our salvation and what he has. That's what it's there for. And there was trembling at the giving of the law, but he says, guess what? You don't need to be there. Let's take a look as he moves on. [00:47:14] (43 seconds)  #FreeFromSinaiFear

what the writer of Hebrews does in chapter 12 is he goes back, and he takes a look at something in Israel's history where things were shaken up. And he parallels that with the fact that we have the upcoming unshakable kingdom. So take your Bibles with me and look at Hebrews chapter 12. And we're gonna see this stuff is still relevant for us today as we would come together, and we know that we can be shaken and that God can do these things, but we have that unshakable kingdom.

I hadn't thought about that until I looked at this, and he says, these are all the people you're be with. Now, I have nothing to base that on, but I'm thinking that would be terrible. You know? We talk about solitary confinement and all of the other things that that are going on in the terror that's there. And there's all those those jokes about, hell, I wanna go down there and spend all that time with, you know, a beer and my friends and all of the things there. What if you're alone and you're not in that presence of others, and we get to be in the presence of God and of others, and look at who he says we're gonna be with. Alright? Look at this. He says here, and an innumerable company of angels. [00:54:44] (41 seconds)  #CompanyOfAngels
