The Throne of Grace.

 The Throne of Grace

A Reflection on Hebrews 4:16

Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

The throne of grace—not a seat of judgment high,

Where sinners tremble and the guilty cry,

But a place of mercy, open wide,

Where the broken find a place to hide.

Not a throne of condemnation,

But a throne of invitation.

Where the weary find their rest,

Where the wounded are blessed.

The throne of grace—the very heart of God,

Where mercy flows like a healing flood,

Where justice and compassion meet,

And forgiveness makes us complete.

We approach with confidence—not because we are worthy,

But because the blood of Jesus makes us worthy.

The veil is torn, the way is clear,

We can come boldly, without fear.

Through Jesus, our High Priest,

We enter the Most Holy Place.

He intercedes for us, He pleads our case,

And we are welcomed by His grace.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16, NKJV)

In our time of need—when we are weak and worn,

When we are battered and forlorn,

The throne of grace is always there,

To answer our every prayer.

The throne of grace—not a distant, cold domain,

But a warm embrace where we can remain.

A place of refuge, a shelter from the storm,

A place where our hearts are kept warm.

So we come with boldness,

Not with arrogance or pride,

But with a humble, trusting heart,

To the One who loves us, the crucified.

And we receive mercy—the pardon we do not deserve,

And we find grace—the strength we need to serve.

In our time of need, He is there,

The throne of grace, our answered prayer.

Amen.
