This message treats the Day of Atonement as a call not merely to solemnity, but to holiness in the presence of God. Through Psalm 48 and the atonement season, the sermon invites the church to see holiness as nearness, reverence, and belonging before the Lord who is great in Zion. The hope in the message is that holiness is not distant from grace. It is part of the Lord's loving work of drawing his people into a life that reflects his beauty and presence. Approach the Lord with reverence, gratitude, and a desire for holiness. Let the season draw you into deeper reflection, and ask God to shape your life so it reflects his beauty and presence more clearly. Lord, make us holy in your presence. Draw us near with reverence and joy, and let our lives reflect the beauty, purity, and nearness of who you are.
