Seven Cities of Refuge

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of the six cities of refuge in the Old Testament, which provided sanctuary for those who killed unintentionally, and connects these to the ultimate refuge found in Jesus Christ, the seventh city of refuge. It emphasizes that the Old Testament points to Christ and His atoning work, and that believers today flee to Him for hope and salvation. The preacher highlights the immutability of God's promises and the certainty of hope anchored in Christ, contrasting the born-again believer's refuge with the unbeliever's state. The message calls for a recognition of God's justice, the necessity of genuine repentance, and the assurance found in Christ as the eternal refuge.
