El trono de la gracia

Hebreos 4:13-16 Hebreos 4:13-16 (LBLA) 13 “Y no hay cosa creada oculta a su vista, sino que todas las cosas están al descubierto y desnudas ante los ojos de aquel a quien tenemos que dar cuenta. 14 Teniendo, pues, un gran sumo sacerdote que trascendió los cielos, Jesús, el Hijo de Dios, retengamos nuestra fe. 15 Porque no tenemos un sumo sacerdote que no pueda compadecerse de nuestras flaquezas, sino uno que ha sido tentado en todo como nosotros, pero sin pecado. 16 Por tanto, acerquémonos con confianza al trono de la gracia para que recibamos misericordia, y hallemos gracia para la ayuda oportuna”.

¿Se ha preguntado usted alguna vez cómo es el cielo? Si pudiera crear al cielo según sus propias especificaciones, ¿qué habría en él?

Al principio, la pregunta parece fácil —de inmediato vienen a su mente unas cuantas ideas. Pero, después de varios minutos de consideración seria, se hace evidente que no podríamos pensar en cosas que darían satisfacción eterna. ¿Cómo podríamos hacerlo, a menos que ya lo hubiéramos experimentado? La triste verdad es que la gente pasa mucho tiempo buscando algo, o a alguien, solo para llegar a la conclusión de que su meta no era en realidad lo que querían. El problema es que, si no contamos con ayuda, no sabemos en verdad lo que queremos.

Esta es una de las razones por la que tenemos un gran Sumo Sacerdote presidiendo en el trono de la gracia. La Palabra de Dios nos dice que “no hay cosa creada oculta a su vista, sino que todas las cosas están al descubierto y desnudas ante los ojos de aquel a quien tenemos que dar cuenta” (Hebreos 4:13).

En otras palabras, Jesucristo ve lo que en realidad queremos y necesitamos, aunque nosotros no reconozcamos lo que eso pudiera ser. Él sabe cómo encontrar lo que nos duele, para poder aplicar allí el bálsamo aliviador.

Y lo que es aún mejor, Él nos alienta amorosamente a “acerquémonos con confianza al trono de la gracia para que recibamos misericordia, y hallemos gracia para la ayuda oportuna” (Hebreos 4:16). Tenga por seguro que su Sumo Sacerdote conoce los verdaderos deseos de su corazón, y Él lo está alistando para el cielo que ya ha preparado.

The Throne of Grace

Hebrews 4:13-16 Hebrews 4:13-16 (NASB) 13 “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Have you ever wondered what heaven is like? If you could create heaven according to your own specifications, what would you include?

At first the question seems easy—a few ideas spring to mind right away. But after several minutes of serious thought, it becomes apparent that we could never think up things that would give eternal satisfaction; what we might imagine as a source of endless joy would fall far short. The sad truth is that people spend a great deal of time pursuing something or somebody, only to come to the conclusion that their goal was not what they really wanted. The problem is this: Left to ourselves, we don’t know what it is we really want.

That is one reason we have a great High Priest presiding over the throne of grace. The Word of God tells us that “there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do” (Hebrews 4:13).

In other words, Jesus Christ sees what it is we really want and need, even when we ourselves do not recognize what that might be. He knows how to find our hurt and soothe the pain.

And what’s even better, He is lovingly encouraging us to “let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). Be assured that your High Priest knows the true desires of your heart, and He is fitting you for the heaven He has already prepared.
