02/02/2014 PM: The Register In Heaven
Hebrews 12:18-24
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Glorious Company
18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire,
and to blackness and darkness and tempest, 19 and the sound of a trumpet and the
voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be
spoken to them anymore. 20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so
much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an
arrow.” 21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am
exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the
firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of
just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of
sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
