Our Great High Priest

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the Heavens, Jesus, the Son of GOD, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly to the Throne of Grace, that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. [Heb 4:14-16]

Jesus understands our every weakness, and how easy it is to fall into temptation, because He was tempted too. On the cross, He took all our sin and transgressions and nailed it in His own body to the cross. There is nothing that we have done, or will do, that He doesn’t already know. It is His blood that is forever on the Mercy Seat. It is His blood that has washed us whiter than snow, leaving no trace of sin. When we come into the presence of GOD, we come as blood washed, blood bought children of the Most High GOD. That is why GOD’S unending grace [His unmerited favour and blessing] is always available to us.

When we can comprehend this, our consciences will stop condemning us, reminding us of past sin and telling us that we are unworthy to receive anything significant from our Heavenly Father. It is then that we will feel free to come boldly before the throne of God.
