RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 2020.
TOPIC: *CHILDREN OF ZION [2]*
"But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance." Obadiah 1:17.
*MESSAGE*
Yesterday, we received God's promises concerning dwellers of Zion. But there is a basic question we did not yet answer: Where was Zion today? The writer of the epistle to the Hebrews help us understand this:
"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." (Hebrews 12: 22-24).
Zion is the presence of God in the church and in our hearts. Zion is the experience of a foretaste of our heavenly Jerusalem today—where there will be no more pain, sorrow or sadness. Zion speaks of the access we have as Christians to dispatch angels on assignment on our behalf. Zion is the connection we have with the heroes of faith that has gone ahead of us and the access we have to the power as of old that worked with them. Zion is our access to the blood of Jesus which purchases our redemption and continues to offer protection to us from all evil.
The blessings of Zion are innumerable. It is the exclusive reality that categorises us as the blessed children of God and assures of enjoying the full power of heaven. Have you found your way to Zion?
*ACTION POINTS*
