Christ Grants Grace & Mercy
God spoke in times past through
the prophets, but He has reserved
the declaration of His glory for
His Son. In order to bring salvation,
the Sin of God willingly became
a little lower than the angels. And
by His suffering and death, He made
it possible to lift mankind above
the angels into the family of God.
Because of His perfect humanity,
Jesus is uniquely qualified to serve
as High Priest; and He will bring
His people into eternal rest.
Lord, You Grant Grace & Mercy:
Let us… be diligent to enter that
rest, lest anyone fall… For the word
of God is living and powerful…
piercing even to the soul and spirit
and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intent of the heart (Heb 4:11-12)
Seeing then that we have a Great
High Priest… Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our confession.
For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathise with our
weakness, but was in all pts tempted
as we are, yet without sin (v14-15).
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 4:16).
Lord, don’t just teach me Your truth,
breathe Your Words & fill me with it.
Let it shape me Lord in every way
so that I can hear Your voice in it.
Lord, I invite You to sharply divide
my own thoughts from Yours and
distinguish Your voice within me.
And let Your Words burn powerfully
in my mind to sharpen discernment
as well as to mould my heart. 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 Lord approach You with
confidence, knowing You will help
me in my time of need. Amen.
Lord, praise You for being our
Great High Priest & understanding
our challenges and weaknesses.
Thank You for pouring out Your
life on the cross, for rising again
and reigning with the Father.
Your throne is a place of grace
for Your people, where we can
receive Your mercy and help
whenever we most need it. Amen.
