Sinai or Sion

by an Old Disciple

“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest...(for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touched the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) But ye are come unto mount Sion.”~ Heb. 12:18-22

I, for one, would not build my house at the foot of a volcanic mountain that is famous for its eruptions. Who wants to live in constant gloom, uncertainty, and fear? Many Christians build their homes at the foot of Mt. Sinai. I choose to build my house at the foot of Mt. Sion. At Mt. Sinai there is no place for a sinner; at Mt. Sion there is no place for anyone else. 

 It’s wonderful to wake each morning knowing that the grace of God, with all its mercy, will be flowing down from Mt. Calvary into my room. That I no longer have to fear and quake at the thought of the fiery lava of the law from Sinai, with its demands and condemnation. I like the way Jeremiah put it: “...in the height of Zion...shall flow...the goodness of the Lord.”

 There are two mountains: Sinai or Calvary
There are two covenants: Old or New
There are two husbands: Law or Grace
There are two principles: Work or Gift

To choose anything on the left is to choose everything on the left;
To choose anything on the right is to choose everything on the right.
