God Attribute, 1

 ~ God Is Accessible ~

 

This Series  ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  The first time my wife and I were in London outside Buckingham Palace I turned to my wife and said, “I think I’ll give the queen a call and tell her we would like to stop in for a cup of tea with her.”  A couple near us overheard the comment and looked at us very strangely. 

 

Another time when we were outside the U.S. Whitehouse I commented to my wife, “I’m going to give the President a call and let him know that we would like to come in and enjoy a cup of coffee with him! 

 

As absurd as both of those comments are as Christians we can come into the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

 

Scripture  ~  “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:14-16).

 

Question  ~  Are you in that privileged state of access?
