Guest Speaker Justin Lakemacher: With Confidence Draw Near Hebrews 4:14-16

The author of Hebrews tells us that we can go confidently into God’s presence. This would have been shocking to the original readers. No high priest would tell people to walk confidently into the Holy of Holies. Yet this is exactly what God commands his people to do. And he does so because of the work of Christ. Jesus, the Great High Priest, has passed through the heavens and offered to God the once-and-for-all sacrifice: himself. The Priest is also the Lamb. And that sacrifice has given us the necessary righteousness needed to approach God’s throne.

Whatever you are going through, the invitation is to come to God’s throne. Come through the blood of Jesus. Come and receive mercy and grace in your time of need.

In Christ,
