How do I dare use this song's beautiful title for the simple writing I'm about to do? I'm using it because it says exactly what I need to say. Hebrews 12:22b-24 says the same thing as this lovely song. Let me repeat Hebrews for you: "You've come to Mt.Zion, the city where the living God resides. The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive angels and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is Judge, with judgments that make us just. You've come to Jesus...".
It occurred to me that when the Israelites were going through the wilderness and encountered God, through Moses at Mt. Sinai, they were afraid to hear God speak. They were terrified. Today, we can go to Jesus without fear and see God as judge who teaches us to be just. God also teaches us that we have, through Jesus, a new covenant with Him, one of grace, mercy, and purest love. The idea of a Jerusalem (a place of many names) where we will find "throngs of festive angels" and other people such as me who have gone to Jesus who are singing together, praising God together, ministering to one another, and celebrating our One-ness with each other and with our Lord Jesus.
I hope you have found your special Jerusalem!
Come to Jesus, Come to Jesus, Come to Jesus, and Live!
Your ever hopeful friend, jo
