Good Morning!☀️

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

The writer of Hebrews explained to his readers (and us) the superiority of Christ over all who came before.  His priesthood is an eternal priesthood. Because he lived among us as one of us yet without sin, human and divine, and is both sinless priest and sinless, perfect lamb sacrificed for us, he is the perfect advocate for us before God.

What does this mean in terms of practical, daily living? It means we can pray with confidence that our needs are understood and cared for. We can pray knowing that he to whom we pray has identified with us and desires our fellowship. It means that when we pray we can expect help and mercy in our time of need.

Come boldly unto the throne of grace!

Needing mercy and grace? Come to Jesus!

‘Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’ (Hebrews…

Good Morning!☀

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16

All of us need help at one time or another. Asking for help can be hard, especially if you do not think the one whose help you seek will be sympathetic to your need.

The writer of Hebrews takes great care to explain that Jesus is an High Priest who can sympathize with us. He subjected himself to the same conditions those of that time had to live under. He faced the same temptations we face, yet without giving in to them. He saw first hand man's inhumanity to man. Thus when we go to him in prayer we know we are submitting our request to one who has a full understanding of our situation.

Having this confidence, we need not hesitate to come to the "Throne of grace". We are encouraged to "Come boldly before the throne of grace" fully expecting to receive the help that we need!

Wide Open

Oh Lord, sometimes when I see a need, I want to RUN boldly… Bulldoze… Crash in and help in ways I think will help. And yet, I feel the need to tip toe, be cautious, not assume that I know or understand what’s best. At these times I realize how very human I am. But…I’m thankful that because of your love & forgiveness, I can RUN boldly… Bulldoze… Crash in and ask you to help in ways…
