Hebrews 12.29 - Come, Bow Down...

God came that we might come to Him. Scripture is filled with many gracious invitations to come. But we come on His terms! Daniel’s encounter with God reveals His fearsome glory. The God of the Bible is not a cosmic “Mr. Nice Guy,” a mild-mannered domesticated deity. Instead, when people meet God they fall down - struck by their unworthiness and guilt - and these are just partial glimpses of the “consuming fire” (Hebrews 12.29). Only a Sovereign Almighty God can save from sin, end injustice, and restore heaven and earth. And that’s just what He is now doing! He has come so we can come. Advent announces the welcome He offers the world all year round. Come, just as you are – but not to stay as you are. Come, follow His perfect will for your life – not to bless your small dreams. Come, and bow down!
