Let
Us Come Boldly
To
The Throne
Of
Our Gracious God
Scripture
Hebrews
4
14 So
then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus
the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.
15 This High
Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the
same testings we do, yet he did not sin.
16 So
let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will
receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it
most.
Observation
There
is only One reason that you and I can come boldly to the throne of
God. His name is Jesus.
Jesus
was born as a human being so He could experience death and through
His death break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.
Now
Jesus is our High Priest and right now He is at the Father's right
hand interceding on our behalf.
You
and I have a Savior who is constantly praying for us – His name is
Jesus!
So
lets come boldly to the throne of our gracious God!
Hebrews
2
14 Because
God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son
also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die,
and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the
power of death. 15 Only
in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as
slaves to the fear of dying.
Hebrews
7
25 Therefore
he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through
him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
26 He is the
kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless,
unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been
given the highest place of honor in heaven.
Application
I
am able to boldly approach the throne of my Heavenly Father because
Jesus is forever interceding with Him on my behalf. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, when I pray to You I pray with the confidence of knowing that
Jesus Christ died and experienced death so that I could be free of
the fear of death. Jesus died for me. I know that You hear me when I
pray. I know that I can come boldly to Your throne not because I
deserve it, but because Jesus paid my way in with His life and gave
me 24/7 access to You.
