The Throne of Grace

It hit me recently that I am so privileged to be able to pray to God...
Hebrews 4:16 reminded me that Christians are privileged to draw near to the throne of Grace.

Near: By the blood of Christ, Christians are simul justus et peccator (at the same time righteous and sinners). We are legally righteous because of Christ, we are given the opportunity to draw near before God.

Throne: Implying that God is the King. Who sits on a throne. A humbling reality of what is actually taking place when we pray.

Thank you, Jesus.
