"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)
We have read in Hebrews of, "His rest." Isaiah 11:12 (NIV) says, "In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious." His "his resting place...glorious," is, "the throne of grace."
Now the word, "place," is a time/space word which is necessary for you and me to have even a little understanding of, "the throne of grace," or, of what the Holy Spirit will later speak of as, "the true Tabernacle, which the Lord pitched and not man," in which is "the Most Holy Place."
Whatever the complete definition or "concept," there is a "place" where no one, angel nor human, could or can abide or even just be. It is this glorious, "Throne of Grace," referred to by the psalmist as, "the secret place of the Most High," where you and I, solely because of and in the Blood of Jesus, may, "abide under the Shadow of the Almighty." It is "there" and "there" alone that you and I can, "....say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, My God in Whom I trust.'"
"The throne of grace," is, "His resting place." You and I are daily, continually, 24/7 invited to live "there," in God Our Father, His "Word became Flesh," Jesus, the Holy Spirit.
"Come Away My Beloved."
Father, in Jesus' Name, Your, "resting place," is now, "glorious," to me. Amen.
