Which mountain?

Hebrews 12:18-24 NKJV
For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, [19] and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the Word should not be spoken to them anymore. [20] (For they could not endure what was commanded: "And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow." [21] And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.") [22] But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, [23] to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, [24] to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the Blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
Two distinct mountains are compared as ways in which to approach God: Mount Sinai and Mount Zion.

One speaks of terryfying judgement and strict commandments to be followed; the other to forgiveness and a new way to reach Him via our Mediator Jesus and His Blood.

I know which one I choose - the wonderful open arms of love and forgiveness in Jesus - He laid down His Life as a sacrifice for my sin.
The other option is to face the wrath of Almighty God against our rebellion, as revealed at Mt.Sinai.
That is the most frightening prospect of all.
Let us be afraid to face the Lord without being sprinkled with the soul cleansing Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus.
