The Blood that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel

“…you have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and countless angels in festal gathering, and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, and God the judge of all, and the spirits of the just made perfect, and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and the sprinkled Blood that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel.” (Heb 12: 22-24)

In our pilgrimage to “Mount Zion and the city of the living God,” we are never alone, never abandoned, but always surrounded by saints and protected by God Himself. Especially Jesus, “the mediator of a new covenant,” no matter what, is consistently with us with His grace, company and support. And when we are in trouble or even in sins, His “Blood speaks eloquently” and loudly to protect us and to save us because of His love for us. We are His chosen children.

“The Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.” (Gospel Acclamation)
