Sinai or Jesus?
Hebrews 12:18-29
Main Point:
Through Jesus we have a way through Sinai to Mt. Zion (God’s Presence)!
We don’t go around Sinai, we go through it by Jesus!
1. Sinai is the Old Covenant - based on keeping the law, with fearful and severe consequences. It points us to Jesus! verses 18-21
The Law’s purpose was to point out the impossibility of keeping it and point us to our need for Christ. Galatians 3:23-25
2. The new covenant, of which Christ is the mediator, is the only basis by which we come to Zion; to worship our Awesome God! verses 22-29
In Zion there is mercy, grace, forgiveness and restoration – all in His Presence through Jesus… We walk with him through life!
