God Welcomes Us to His Throne
God spoke in times past through
the prophets, but He has reserved
the declaration of His glory for
His Son. By His death, Jesus lifts
mankind into the family of God.
Because of His perfect humanity,
Jesus is uniquely qualified to serve
as High Priest for sinful mankind.
Moses was a servant in God’s
household, but Christ is the
divine Son over God’s household.
And Christ will bring His people into
the eternal resting place of heaven.
Lord,we Approach with confidence:
Seeing we have a great High Priest
let us hold fast our confession.
For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathise with our
weaknesses… Let us therefore
Come Boldly to the throne of
Grace, that we may Obtain Mercy
and Find Grace to help in time
of need (Heb 4:15-16). Amen.
Father God, all praise and thanks
to You for sitting on heaven’s
mercy seat. What a privilege to
be invited into your presence.
Thank you for loving us so much
that You gave us your Son Jesus.
It is so good to experience the
amazing grace of being your
children and having a heavenly
Father who is on our side. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thank you that you
understand my weaknesses,
for You have been tempted in
every way and yet did not sin.
Because you understand my
struggles, I know I can come to You
and receive mercy. And help me
approach you with confidence,
knowing that you will help me
in my time of need. Amen.
Lord, thank you for facing the
same temptations and problems
we do and thus able to understand
our challenges and weaknesses.
Thank you for pouring out your
life on the cross, for rising again
and reigning at the right hand of
the Father. Your throne is a place
of grace for your people, where
we can receive your mercy and
help when we most need it. I come
Lord to receive your grace. Amen.
