Why is Christ our city of refuge?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our city of refuge because He is the appointed Savior for sinners seeking mercy and safety from judgment.

The concept of a city of refuge serves as a profound illustration of Christ's role in salvation. As seen in Numbers 35, God provided cities of refuge for anyone who committed unintentional homicide, allowing them safety from retribution. Similarly, Christ is appointed as the ultimate refuge for all sinners, providing mercy and protection from the avenger of blood, which represents the law's condemnation. The cities were strategically placed, just as Christ is made available to all. For believers, being in Christ means finding true safety and rest, as He fulfills both divine justice and mercy, allowing God's justice to be satisfied while extending grace to the repentant sinner.
