My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

JUNE The Sixteenth SINAI AND CALVARY

HEBREWS xii.18-28.

We need not live at the foot of Mount Sinai. It is like living at the foot of Mount Pelee, the home of awful eruption, and therefore the realm of gloom and uncertainty and fear. We are not saved by law, neither indeed can we be. Neither can law heal us after our transgressions and defeats. The law has nothing for prodigal men but |blackness, and darkness, and tempest.| It has no sound but dreaded decree, no message but menace, no look but a frown. Who will build his house at the foot of Mount Sinai?

|But ye are come unto Mount Zion.| Our true home is not at Sinai, but at Calvary. There is no place for the sinner at the first mount; at the second mount there is a place for no one else. At Calvary we may find our way back to the holiness we lost at Sinai. Through grace we may drop the burden of our sin and begin to wear the garments of salvation. The way back to heaven is by |the green hill, without a city wall.| It is a mount that can be reached by the most exhausted pilgrim; and the one who has |spent all| will assuredly find a full restoration of life at the gate of his Saviour's death. |Ye are come to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant.|
