Hebrews 4:16 states, “Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in
time of need.”
Why
are we admonished to come boldly unto Christ in our time of need? We can come boldly unto Jesus because He is
our high priest (vs. 15). Romans 8:34
assures the believer that Christ who died for us is “at the right hand of God,
who maketh intercession for us”.
Christ who has the power and authority to condemn us is sitting at the
right hand of God making intercession for us with the Father. Hebrews 9:24 explains further, “for Christ
is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of
the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.”
What
does it mean that Christ makes intercession for us? The Greek word enthugchano (1793) which has
been translated intercession in Romans 8:34 signifies one who entreats or
confers with another. So, Christ is at
this very moment in the presence of our heavenly Father conferring or entreating
God the Father on our behalf.
Christian musician you can and should come boldly before the throne of
grace in order that Christ may obtain mercy and grace for you. In the middle of your busy December, with all
the activities of the advent season, you can obtain God’s mercy just when you
need it most. It is a wonderful thing to
know that you may also obtain abundant grace from your heavenly Father because Jesus
is praying for you right now.
What
will God’s grace do for you? It will
give you the precise help that you need to be an over-comer during this
Christmas season. Christian musician,
our heavenly Father has made provision for you to make it through this
exceedingly busy time of year—and for all the year through for that
matter. He has more than enough grace
and mercy to take care of all of his children.
He is as close as the mention of His name. However, you must remember to go to Him with
your needs.
