Mount Zion

MOUNT ZION

 

Today, I want to take you beyond the empty tomb…

Not just back to what Jesus did, but forward into what Jesus is still doing.

 

Because Easter is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of a movement.

A movement toward a better mountain.

 

The tomb was empty so that hearts could be filled.

 

In Hebrews 12, we’re told something stunning:

“You have come to Mount Zion… to the city of the living God.”

 

This is a spiritual destination — not just a place on a map, but a place in the heart.

It’s the fulfillment of all God has been doing:

From Abraham and Isaac, to David and Solomon, to Jesus — God has always been calling His people to Himself.

 

Mount Zion is not a mountain of fear and judgment like Sinai…

It’s a mountain of grace and mercy.

It’s where angels rejoice.

Where the Church gathers in the Spirit.

Where Jesus, our Mediator, speaks a better word — not one of vengeance, but redemption.

 

Mount Zion isn’t just where resurrection happened…

It’s where resurrection leads.

 

It’s where the Upper Room was — that little room in Jerusalem, humble and hidden.

It was a place of fear… that became a place of fire.

 

After the resurrection, Jesus didn’t disappear — He reappeared.

Over 40 days, He taught, He revealed, He transformed.

 

Then, on the Mount of Olives, He ascended.

 

But here’s the thing:

The Ascension was not Jesus leaving us — it was Jesus enthroning Himself.

He sat down at the right hand of the Father — because the work was finished.

And from that place, He poured out His Spirit on His people.

 

And where did the Spirit fall?

Right back at Mount Zion — in that Upper Room — where waiting turned into witnessing.

 

Because the resurrection doesn’t just change you — it sends you.

 

So what does this mean for us today?

 

It means we live like Zion people.

 

We watch — not with passive eyes, but active faith.

We return — in obedience, even when it’s hard.

We enter — into places of consecration, humility, and transformation.

And we continue — steadfast in prayer, united in purpose.

 

The early church didn’t manufacture revival…

They built the room for it.

Like a greenhouse — they created the right conditions:

Heat from passion, moisture from prayer, light from truth — and the Spirit brought the growth.

 

So today, wherever you are —

You’re not just standing in a moment… you’re standing on a mountain.

Not Sinai… but Zion.

 

Let’s live like we’ve come to Mount Zion.

Let’s build the room.

Let’s keep the fire burning.

 

I’m so glad you joined me today.

Until next time — keep watching, keep worshiping, and walk boldly as a Zion people.
