God's Voice Rocks All of Creation

When the Israelites gathered at Mount Sinai and God spoke to them, the people begged God to stop because his trumpet-blast voice pierced their body and soul. It shook the Earth and nobody, not even Moses, was left without fear in their hearts. But that's not our experience now. Coming to Jesus at Mount Zion, where God resides and judges, where Jesus is the mediator, and where thousands of angels gather, Christ brings His voice of hope to the people.

If God's voice couldn't be avoided at Sinai, how much more do we need to listen today to Christ's voice, speaking words of grace and making His judgements of who gets their name written in the book of life. His voice shook the Earth when He spoke, but He is going to speak once more and this time, not only the Earth, but the entire heavens will be shaken. His voice will cleanse the universe of sin, revealing only the things that truly matter to God.

Are you excited for that day? A day when there will be no more suffering, no more pain, no more lies. It'll be biggest celebration of praise of worship to God that mankind has ever known. God's not a bystander behind the scenes, He's actively working to set things straight and on that glorious day, all of the work He's accomplished will be revealed. The truth, the whole story, will be laid out for everyone to see and the only response will be that our God is just and true to His promises.
