On March 25, 1993, at 5:34 a.m., Oregon experienced an earthquake. It was 5.6 magnitude on the Richter scale. I remember it well because I had driven straight through from Southern California and had just gotten into bed shortly after 3 a.m. I had never experienced an earthquake before so for me it was traumatic.
I’m sure everyone who had moved here from California was casually riding it out, “What do you think, Honey, is that a 5.2 or a 5.3?” “No, that’s got to be at least a 5.5.”
Speaking of California, seismologist say ‘the big one’ is overdue. It could bring untold devastation. But Oregon is also long overdue for an earthquake that could bring the worst natural disaster in US history.
The point of this message is not earthquake preparedness. Well, actually it is; just not the kind of earthquake you might be thinking. These verses in Hebrews 12 contain an ominous and mysterious warning, “Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”
It’s a spiritual point. God will bring this world to a close. There will be a great shaking of this earth; the frequency and intensity of which the world has never known. It will be spiritual, that much is certain, but it will also be physical. In the latter days God will pour out His wrath and bring the world to a close.
Many with spiritual discernment can sense this world is changing. Tectonic plates are shifting, you might say. Prophecy is unfolding, we are drawing near to the latter days.
When things get shaken, that’s when you need a strong foundation. We have received a kingdom which cannot be shaken. We have a Rock on which to stand.
Now is the time to build unshakable faith in your life. What are you building your life on? Don’t build your life on those things which can be and will be shaken. Build your life on those things which remain, those things which are eternal.
For the last several weeks, we’ve been with Israel at Mt. Sinai as God gave Moses the law and commandments. In Hebrews 12, he uses the experience of Israel at Mount Sinai as a spiritual lesson. We who have believed in Christ have not come to such a mountain that was shaken by the power of God so terrible that even Moses was full of fear and trembling.
You have come to Mount Zion, he says; the mountain on which sits Jerusalem. It’s a spiritual analogy. You have come to the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant that was enacted on better promise. You have come to the sprinkled blood of Christ which speaks a better word.
In these words, there is a challenge. Take hold of what you have in Christ, a kingdom which cannot be shaken. Because everything that can be shaken, will be shaken. Strengthen your faith and build your life on this Rock.
I. The Blood of Jesus Speaks a Better Word
 One of the great themes in Hebrews is that what you have in Jesus is far superior to anything that came before it and far superior to anything this world has to offer.
 God spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us in His Son.
 God speaks; and He Speaks through His Son. And what He speaks is a better word.
 Verse 18 --“You have not come to a mountain that may be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind.” He’s referring to when Moses went up to Mount Sinai to receive the Law from God. The people were afraid and asked Moses to speak for God because they were afraid of God’s voice.
 You have not come to Mount Sinai, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; you have come to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant…
 Everything you have in Christ is superior.
 And you have come to the blood of Jesus which speaks a better word…
A. The blood of Jesus speaks grace
 The blood of Jesus speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
