Enter with Confidence
3/29/2024
"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." - Hebrews 4:16 ESV
As we reflect on Good Friday, a day marked by the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, Hebrews 4:16 invites us to approach the throne of grace with confidence. This verse reminds us of the profound truth that because of Christ's sacrificial love, we have unrestricted access to the Father's mercy and grace.
Good Friday commemorates the day when Jesus willingly bore the weight of humanity's sins on His shoulders. Despite the agony and suffering He endured, His ultimate act of love paved the way for us to receive forgiveness and redemption.
Through His death, we find the assurance that we are never alone in our struggles. In our times of need, we can boldly approach God's throne, knowing that His grace and mercy are readily available to sustain us.
Today, as we meditate on the significance of Good Friday, let us remember the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and the boundless love that compelled Him to endure the cross.
May we approach the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude, knowing that we are recipients of God's unending mercy and grace.
During my quiet time today, I found the following prayer which is perfect to end our time today. It goes like this:
A Good Friday Prayer
Jesus, I grieve that the torture and sorrow You endured on the cross were necessary to save humanity. Because You didn't want me enslaved to fear, anxiety, or sin — You sacrificed Yourself so that Love could win. It's Love that hung upon the cross and gave up everything to rescue me. "It is finished" was a cry of victory, because You defeated everything that held me in captivity. Because of Your sacrifice, I can experience intimacy with You forever. Thank You! Help me to know You more, and to reach people with the hope found in You.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
May the heaviness of today bring you joy in knowing Sunday is on the way.
