1. The Middle Man
a. Hard to get to the person in charge
i. Soggy French fries
b. When it comes to getting to God, Jesus is the middle man and the only access to Him
i. Matthew 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.KJV
1. The ONLY way
a. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV
2. In Touch With God
a. Jesus was not put in place to keep us FROM God but rather to get us TO God
i. 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. KJV
3. The Throne of Grace
a. Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace , that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. KJV
4. Thieves of Grace
a. Sometimes we act as if we have to "steal" grace, or at least beg for it
b. God gave His ONLY begotten Son so that you and I can come to Him
i. It will be hard to ACCEEPT that you are forgiven if you feel that you have to beg for forgiveness!
c. Another way of putting Hebrews 4:14 is . . .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.
