Hebrews 12:22
v. 22–24: Now, the Christian faith brings us to something much greater. We come to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem (Hebrews 12:22 a). This means we have a spiritual connection to God, like living in His holy city. Believers are part of a heavenly community, with an innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are written in heaven (Hebrews 12:23 b). We come to God Himself, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. Most importantly, we come to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel (Hebrews 12:24 c). Jesus’ blood brings forgiveness and peace, not judgment. Through Christ, we have access to God, the hope of heaven, and fellowship with all God’s people, both on earth and in heaven.
