In the second half of Hebrews 12, we are told to “lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees.” Last week, we were told how to do it. Pursue peace and holiness. This week, we are going to be told why we have the strength to do it. God will give us strength through the stories of two different mountains. First, we are given the story of the mountain that we are not at. We have not come before Mount Sinai, the mountain shrouded in smoke and fire where broken promises were made and curses were uttered. We are instead told that we have arrived at Mount Zion, the city of the living God, where a better promise is spoken through the blood of Christ.
