Hebrews 4:16

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:16 NLT

When I think about all that Christ accomplished on the Cross, one of the most amazing things is that, because of His blood, we can now enter the throne room of God.

The Old Testament tells us about the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. At the heart of the Temple was the Holy of Holies. This was were the Ark of the Covenant resided and its doorway was covered by a thick curtain. Only one person was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies, that was the High Priest and he could only go in once a year to make a sacrifice. Nobody else could enter the Holy of Holies, Nobody else could get that close to God.

The New Testament records that when Jesus died on the Cross, the curtain that covered the entrance to the Holy of Holies was ripped in two, from top to bottom. This showed that Jesus, as our Great High Priest, gives us entrance to the presence of God! If we are covered by the Blood of Jesus, then we have access to throne of God where we can commune with Him and He can shower us with His Love, Mercy, and Grace, what an amazing God we serve!
