Consuming fire –
You cannot be touched.
But, here we are, coming to the city of our living God. Coming to angels in festal gathering. Coming to the assembly enrolled in heaven. Coming to You, the judge of all.
Coming to Jesus, our mediator whose sprinkled blood speaks a better word.
May we not refuse this better word. May this better word shake earth and heaven yet once more.
Shake us, living God, so that Your kingdom – which cannot be shaken – may remain.
With thanks, reverence, and awe, we pray.
Amen.
