Hebrews 12, 4, & 12

Father, your Gospel kingdom cannot be shaken, but it will shake everything else of earth and heaven. Your gospel challenges men to listen and to hear. You call and you warn.

Your Gospel kingdom shakes the old kingdom of law: the Mount Sinai that blazed with your fire and your voice; that made hearers beg for no further messages from you. Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that even Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”

The old covenant shook the mountain, but now your new and final covenant, your gospel covenant, will shake earth and heaven. It will force people to seek and follow you, or to refuse and reject you. It draws your children to you in love, and it brings out hatred and rage in the children of the evil one.

Your gospel is meant to separate and divide. You mean to remove the things that can be shaken so that all that remains are those eternal things that cannot be shaken.

I am grateful for a kingdom that cannot be shaken. I worship you, father, son, and holy spirit with reverence and awe, for you are my God and my father.
