"For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched...." (Heb. 12:18, NASB)
"....You have not come to the mountain that can be touched." You have come to the mountain which cannot, "be touched." This is the most frustrating reality for the human race; "I want to see it, touch it, hear it. If I can't, I want nothing to do with it." Okay then, humanity, you will not have the greater which cannot be "touched," and here it is: "....Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and...myriads of angels,..the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and...God the Judge of all, and...the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and...Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant and...the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Is this really what humanity wants?
Now I say to the "scientists" out there, the ones who think whatever they can touch, smell, handle, see, etc., the so-called "scientific method," and all those pseudo-scientists who are living such an oh so very limited life, which do you want? I stand with Peter today, "....and though you have not seen [Jesus], you love [Jesus], and though you do not see Him now, but believe in [Jesus], you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory."

In our walk in Jesus Christ today, this is what and Whom we, "come to." This is the reality of the Universe, not what some chemistry teacher taught you in school. In Hebrews 12 we read of what Moses said of that which he could see, "I am full of fear and trembling." But with the eyes of faith he saw so much more, and he pressed on. You and I, along with Moses and the people of faith in Hebrews 11, are of those who, though we don't "see," we nevertheless, "have come to...the city of the living God,..to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling."
Father, in Jesus Name, though I can't "see" You, I love You. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
