Boldly to the Throne of Grace
Hebrews 4: 14 – 5:10
Donna Schaper
Are you a dot com or a dot org? Are you a not for profit or a for profit? Are you somebody who takes or gives?
The writer to the Hebrews wants us to approach the throne of grace with boldness. Which way is best if we try to do that? Do we make a profit or create a loss? Do we diminish or do we add value?
What if the answer to all these seemingly opposed questions was "yes"?
Boldness going to the throne of grace means you know you were really invited. The throne has asked you to come and wants you there. It wants you to discern when to make a profit and when to take a loss. It wants you to both take (you were invited after all) and to give (perhaps you want to bring a guest). Grace surely has no time for ignoring the invitations. Because we are invited so surely to the throne of grace, it is appropriate that we go. There we both receive and give--and both are our RSVP.
Prayer: When I answer “yes” to the invitation to go to the throne of grace, let me answer with vigor. Amen
