Bible Verse of The Day – 10-25-16

Mark 15:38 (NKJV) 38 Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

As Jesus took His last breath and died, there were many things that happened all at once.

The Bible says that the earth shook, the skies were darkened and rocks were split. But there was one other very significant thing that took place at that same moment; The veil of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

Why was that so significant? Let’s take a look and see.

The veil of the temple was used to separate God’s presence from man. The only people who were allowed to enter into the holy of holies were the priests. Every so often, a priest would go through a series of cleansing rituals to make him clean.

After going through those rituals, the priest would approach God inside of the holy of holies. If he had prepared properly, he would do what needed to be done and make his way back out. But if something had been missed, and he was unclean, he would die and have to be pulled out by a rope that was tied around his waist!

But when Jesus died and the veil of the temple was torn in two, it meant that God was now accessible to us! We no longer need priests to go to God for us. In fact, not only can we approach God directly, but we can approach Him boldly!

Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We are no longer isolated from God. We have direct access to Him through Jesus. And we can go to Him at any time, even approaching Him boldly.

So take your needs to Him today. Don’t depend on someone else to do it for you. Talk to Him. Listen to Him. And most of all, trust Him and obey Him!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-15

Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

As a child of God, we have some pretty special privileges.

We have been told that we can come boldly to the throne of grace when we are in need.

So what does this really mean, anyway?

We have heard this taught from so many different angles that the simplicity of this verse has almost been obstructed from view, making it difficult to discern the true meaning of it.

But here it is, without all of the fluff that we so often hear these days.

God has granted us the privilege, because we are His children, to approach His throne boldly, when we are being tempted and when we are feeling weak.

We don’t need to fear coming to Him. We can come boldly, without fear of reprisal or admonishment when we have made a mistake, or even several mistakes.

God’s grace is abundant and sufficient. It is not lacking and we don’t need to earn it or buy it. It is given freely to those who ask.

Please don’t let some crazy teachings of today water this down or twist what it really means. This doesn’t give us license to go before God and demand things of Him. It doesn’t give us the right to turn God into a divine ATM or magic genie who will give us our every wish, or cater to our every whim.

It is about His grace and mercy and how it applies to our lives. Nothing more and nothing less.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”…

So when we are in need of His grace and His mercy, let’s approach His throne boldly, not shrinking back, but seeking His strength and His forgiveness.

It is there before His throne that we find exactly what we need.
