Mount Misery or Mount Mercy?

 

Hebrews 12:18-24

For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. 20For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” 22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

Hebrews 12:18-24

 

THE OLD COVENANT SYSTEM:

MAN WITHOUT A PERFECT MEDIATOR

Hebrews 12:18-21

 

THE NEW COVENANT SYSTEM:

MAN WITH A PERFECT MEDIATOR

Hebrews 12:22-24

Don’t go back to Mount Misery when you’ve already come to Mount Mercy!
