Cities of Refuge…

”“Now among the cities which you will give to the Levites you shall appoint six cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. And to these you shall add forty-two cities.“
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭35‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The cities of refuge do what Jesus Christ is doing for us today, sheltering the sinner, you and me from judgement.

”God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”I cried out to You, O Lord: I said, “You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭142‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”However, if he did not lie in wait, but God delivered him into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place where he may flee.“
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭21‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;“
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,“
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
