For years we have heard these words.
“Space the final frontier
These are the voyages
Of the Starship Enterprise
It’s five year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new civilizations
And to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
There is a better place for us to boldly go.
As Christians we have an open invitation to receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. One may ask “well what do you mean by that”?
I want you to look at your invitation in Hebrews 4:14-16
“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, Let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are— yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
Unlimited access to seek God’s face. Think about that for a second because in the human world if you want time with a President, CEO, a king or anyone important you have to wait. You have to schedule appointments with doctors. Any person who thinks they are important in any way shape or form. If you have a title well to see them in the words of Chris Jericho “You just made the list.” But Jesus paved the way for us to have access in our time of need. Our time of need can be day or night. To me that gives me hope because God wants to spend time in communication with us anytime, and any place. He wants us. The God of all creation wants to listen to the most feeble, accident prone creatures ever. He made all that exists and still has time for me. To boldly go in confidence to ask for mercy and grace and too often we get busy and don’t pray. We need to pray more often people!
