Hebrews 12:25

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 12:22-25

OUR PLACE‘But ye are come unto Mount Sion, and … to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.’ Hebrews 12:22-Lamentations : This ‘place’ requires faith to apprehend it; it requires faith to understand it. ‘Ye are come to the Mount Sion, the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem.’ I. Mount Sion must be in a certain sense upon earth.—Because we are the children of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 12:25

‘See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they escaped not when they refused him who warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven:’ But let them not be misled. It is true that this glory is now theirs if they truly belong to Christ. Yet they must beware. For if they refuse Him Who speaks, Him Who calls them to this glory, they will find Him far more fearsome than the God of Sinai. He spoke to men from Sinai and they did not escape... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 12:18-29

Hebrews 12:18-Joel : . The theme of the epistle has been the contrast of the old and the new covenants, and this contrast is now summed up in a splendid closing passage. The first covenant was established on a “ mount that might be touched”— an earthly, material mountain [E. C. Selwyn, in JThS, xii. 134 , suggests pephepsalmenô , “ calcined.”— A. J. G.]— which was encircled with terrible manifestations of fire and darkness and storm. The voice in which the Law was proclaimed struck terror... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:25

Here the Spirit closely applieth his former arguments for their pursuit of holiness, especially that of Christ’s speaking by his blood to them; by caution, Hebrews 12:25-27; by counsel, Hebrews 12:28,Hebrews 12:29. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh: he introduceth this caution with: Look ye, or take ye heed; a term expressing the things said to be great and weighty, intimating that fear, solicitude, and watchfulness about this great and important concernment of their souls, Luke 12:15;... read more

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 12:29. Consuming fire.—Deuteronomy 4:24. Not intended as in any sense a description of God, but “an anthropomorphic way of expressing His hatred of apostasy and idolatry. The reference is made in order to show why we ought to serve God with holy reverence and fear.”MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Hebrews 12:25-29The Voices of God.—God has always found voices for the communication of His will to men. They always carry responsibility to those who hear... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:18-25

Hebrews 12:18-25 The Blessedness of the Christian Life. A Christian Jew is writing to Christian Jews, who stand in some danger of falling back to the religion they had abandoned. This writer is here, as every one sees, contrasting the two systems, the old and the new, the law and the Gospel, with a view to show which is indeed the thing he is showing all through his letter that the step from Moses to Christ had been in every respect a step forward and upward, that everything which they appeared... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:18-29

Hebrews 12:18-29 Mount Sinai and Mount Zion. In this passage are mentioned seven great and solemn heavenly realities. I. Mount Zion. Mount Sinai represents the law. It manifests the majesty of God above us as creatures, the wrath of God against us as sinners; it reveals to us God's judgment and our condemnation; it convinces us of our guilt and of our strengthlessness; it represents the state of fear and darkness, of distance and alienation from God. It is winter, without sunshine, without... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:25

Hebrews 12:25 Refusing God's Voice. I. We have here, first of all, the solemn possibility of refusal. It is possible for Christian people so to cherish wills and purposes which they know to be in diametrical and flagrant contradiction to the will and purpose of God, that obstinately they prefer to stick by their own desires, and, if it may be, to stifle the voice of God. II. Note the sleepless vigilance necessary to counteract the tendency to refusal. "See that ye refuse not." A warning finger... read more

Ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through... read more
