Mountains appear in various times and in various ways throughout scripture.  Mountains are sometimes tied with various aspects of God, His character and His redemptive plan.

Mount Sinai is often associated with God's Law and the requirements of the Law.  Through our own efforts, we can never measure up to the righteous requirements of the Law.

Contrasted with Mount Sinai, today's lesson looks at Mount Zion, the mountain which Paul, in Galatians 5:21-5:1, equates with God's redemptive grace through Christ.
