We are in the midst of the high point of the writer of Hebrew’s argument for the perseverance of God’s people. He has made his case with respect to the preeminence of Jesus and the superiority and sufficiency of the New Covenant.
In making this closing argument he has taken us to two mountains. One is earthly the other is heavenly. One is temporary the other is everlasting. One represents the law the other represents the finished work of Christ. One speaks of distance from God and a fear born out of a sense of condemnation, the other is full of tremendous benefits and there we meet with God’s love and grace. One is Mount Sinai the other Mount Zion.
And now, after presenting these believers with what Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant , has provided by His own blood, the writer gives a call to make the right choice. What do we do with all that he has presented in this book, and all that he has presented in the immediate context?
