Mount Sinai And Mount Zion Contrasted The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians by Oliver B. Greene is an excellent commentary. In chapter 10, Greene presents various contrasts between Law and Grace , which is well worth reading (I have been blessed by the whole book so far). This reminded me of a contrast I had noticed in Scripture recently as well - the difference between two mountains in Scripture: Mount Sinai and Mount Zion. Notice there are seven things mentioned about each of these mountains, which reveal the characteristics of each: Hebrews 12:18-21 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched (1), and that burned with fire (2), nor unto blackness (3), and darkness (4), and tempest (5), And the sound of a trumpet (6), and the voice of words (7); which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thru...

The Glory Of The New Testament (Covenant) - Part 2 This is a continuation of the devotional study that was posted yesterday, Without Blemish In Christ - Part 1 . Please read that first. For the context of this study, please read Exodus 33-34, as I will not be able to quote it all here. Exodus 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. The first stone tables (tablets) were broken by Moses, and here we see the Lord commanding him to hew out two more tablets to replace the broken ones. Then Moses was told to bring the tablets up with him to the top of Mount Sinai. There the Lord revealed Himself to Moses: Exodus 34:5-7 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD . And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness...

Without Blemish In Christ - Part 1 How many times have we looked at a mirror and saw the blemishes therein? Too often we are critical of our physical makeup - YET, unless we are slothful and negligent about our physical condition, the way we are is exactly the way God intended us to be. He not only made our bodies - imperfections (in our eyes) and all - He also made our personalities. This is expressed wonderfully in the following passage: Psalms 139:13-16 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Where we see imperfection - God sees His per...
