Hebrews 4:14-16
The believer's confidence rests not in personal strength but in a Great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, understands our weakness, and grants access to the throne of grace.
14 Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
15 For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
The believer's confidence rests not in personal strength but in a Great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, understands our weakness, and grants access to the throne of grace.
To encourage believers to persevere and draw near confidently because Jesus is their exalted and sympathetic High Priest.
Enter God's Rest and Draw Near to the Great High Priest
