It is discipline, yes, and faithful disciples are not hampered because of discipline...it makes us better disciples.  We're also urged to remain strong in the Lord by remaining IN THE LORD (did anyone think it would be any other way?!).  Living unto God means to live peacefully, cheerfully, and wholly unto God in mind and body.  The continuing contrast of Sinai, Zion, and Heaven is laid before us. That should urge us onward also to pursue God. In Sinai when the commandments were brought down it was a terrifying and inspiring scene. But the Law does not save. In Jerusalem, Jesus was crucified, and <em>that</em> sacrifice covers for us. Therefore we are to be pilgrims virtually entranced to follow Jesus if we can use such a verb here.  Now that same God resides in heaven and what he has done for us commands our lives and we are to be so overwhelmed by His outpouring of love that we follow Him and pledge to remain so in His New Covenant.  The price of turning away from God's Son shall be far worse than what those who shunned Him in the desert experienced.
