Our Lord Jesus' Throne of Grace
"Let
us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
-HEBREWS
4:16 [KJV]
We
are bidden to come, not to a throne of law, nor a throne of strict
justice, but to a throne of grace. The words, Throne, Majesty, Power,
and Omnipotence all leave me awed and frightened. But the soft gentle
word Grace stirs my heart to venture near in sincerity, humility, and
hope. For though there are a thousand defects in my prayers, it is a
throne of grace. Though many defects in my knowledge, it is a throne
of grace. Though there are so many weaknesses in my spirit, it is a
throne of grace. Though my faith is so weak and dishonoring to the
King, it is a throne of grace. Grace loves, grace forgives, grace
abounds, grace is sufficient; and His
grace is greater than all my sins.
