Our blessings in Jesus from Zion: Jesus taught & ministered in Zion; Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins in Jerusalem (Golgotha, just outside the city walls); Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven from Jerusalem. The Gospel was first preached out of Jerusalem; The church was birthed in Jerusalem.
Peace be upon Israel! How we should continue to pray.
Why we should live this way (all of us). God gives us our security; Neh.8:10 our strength; we are obediently following His plans & purposes; we will leave a legacy; we will live and flourish, not just exist.
