Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are… I. THE THRONE OF GRACE. 1. It is set up for those who have been ruined by sin. 2. None will come to it but those who feel sin to be a burden. 3. It is also a kind of holy retirement, where the true followers of Jesus may meet their Lord. II. WHAT GIVES THE SINNER HIS BOLDNESS WHEN HE COMES WITH HIS PETITIONS TO THIS THRONE? 1. His entire reliance on Christ. 2. His experimental knowledge of the eternal priesthood of Christ. 3. His own experience. III. THE FITTEST SEASON FOR DRAWING NEAR TO THE THRONE OF GRACE. 1. A time of national lukewarmness is a tithe of need. 2. The time when the Lord is arming Himself with judgment is a time of need. 3. A time of prosperity is a time of need. 4. A time of spiritual warfare is a time of need. (F. G. Crossman.) Parallel Verses KJV: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. |
