This Wednesday, February 28, we journey from mountain to mountain. Mountains are amazing and awe-inspiring, but to journey through them or to climb them is no easy task. When Abraham saw Mount Moriah he was not inspired, nor was he amazed. His heart was filled with fear and dread for on this mountain he was supposed to provide a sacrifice—the sacrifice of his son. It was a difficult mountain to climb. Later, Mount Moriah becomes Mount Zion where the Jerusalem temple was built. On this mountain the LORD God will provide. God rescues Isaac from the knife of Abraham in order that God might provide another sacrifice, a perfect Lamb without blemish or spot. Even though Jesus was sacrificed on Mount Calvary, His blood was brought to the Holy of Holies in the temple and sprinkled for our forgiveness, life, and salvation. It was a difficult mountain for Jesus to climb; but His journey to that mountain leads us to the mountain of the new Zion—to heaven. Join us Wednesday at 7:30PM.
