-Christ meets you outside the throne room, takes you by the hand, and walks you into the presence of God. Upon entrance we find grace, not condemnation; mercy, not punishment. Where we would never be granted an audience with the King, we are now welcomed into his presence.
If you are a parent you understand this. If a child you don't know appears on your doorstep and asks to spend the night, what would you do? Likely you would ask him his name, where he lives, find out why he is roaming the streets, and contact his parents. On the other hand, if a youngster enters your house escorted by your child, that child is welcome. The same is true with God. By becoming friends with the Son we gain access to the Father.
Jesus promised, "Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32). Because we are friends of His Son, we have entrance to throne room. He ushers us into that "grace in which we stand." (Romans 5:2)~~
-LORD, TAKE UP YOUR HOLY THONE / Paul Wilbur
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
