How does Christ serve as our city of refuge?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our city of refuge, offering safety and protection from the wrath of God.

In Scripture, cities of refuge provided a safe haven for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, and Christ is depicted as our ultimate city of refuge. As the sermon illustrates, we, like the manslayers, find ourselves guilty before God's law, deserving punishment. Fleeing to Christ, we find safety from the avenger of blood—God's justice. Hebrews emphasizes that through His sacrificial atonement and perfect righteousness, Christ fulfills the requirements of the law on our behalf, protecting us from God's righteous wrath. Therefore, our hope is firmly anchored in Him, assuring us that we cannot be cast out as we find true refuge and peace in His presence.
