Under the Law, only the High Priest of Israel could enter the Holy of Holies once a year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) to make atonement for the people’s sins.
The High Priest went in with fear and trepidation because any mistake, such as accidentally touching the Ark of the Covenant that acted as a throne for God’s presence, would cause him to be struck dead.
Thus they tied a rope around the high priest’s leg so that if he dropped dead, the other priest in the temple could drag his corpse out without entering the Holy of Holies.
Under Grace, because Jesus our great High Priest has cleansed us of our sins by the offering of His own shed blood, we can enter God’s presence in prayer with great boldness, knowing that our sins are all forgiven and our spirits are perfectly righteous in Christ.
Now, when we approach God’s throne in prayer, not only can we touch the throne, we can embrace our Abba Father, knowing that He loves us—Him sending Jesus to die on the cross for our sins proves this.
We stand before the throne not to be sentenced as a criminal, but to spend quality time with our father.
For you and me who have been born-again, the throne is not a judgment zone. It is a place of Grace to receive God’s embrace.
Dear brethren, when you rely on His Grace, you’ll never be put to disgrace!
