Devotional Guide for Thursday, March 9

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

Reflect
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,…” (v16a)

What a beautiful invitation. Under the old covenant (before Jesus’ death and resurrection became the new covenant), the only person allowed into God’s presence was the high priest, who entered the Most Holy Place ONCE a year on the Day of Atonement.

I am so glad we are invited to approach the throne of grace as often as we want and when we do approach, we approach our great High Priest, Jesus, who is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, and was tempted as we are, but remained without sin.

Apply
Have you approached the throne of grace today? When you approach, are you approaching with confidence? As you approach the throne of grace today, remember this invitation is from God who desires to have an ongoing relationship with us.
