 You Can Go to the King Without Fear 

I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish (Esther 4:16, NIV). 

Remember the story of Esther. You couldn’t go to the king unless you were called in. That was the law. To save her people, Esther made a decision to go before the king, even if it meant her own life. 

God’s law of holiness requires we should be like Him in character. It is a law that requires flawless and fervent obedience, not only in our actions but in our disposition and state. 

The Bible says, "Whoever keeps the whole law and offends in one point is guilty of all" (James 2:10). 

God requires an obedience that is flawless, that is perpetual, consistent, joyous, and fervent and we don't fulfill it. We are broken, fallen creatures. Our natural tendencies are downward, not upward.  We can do no good thing without Him. 

And so, how can I go into the king? Do you remember what the king did to Esther? He held out the scepter. That is what our King does to us. He holds out the scepter of grace for Christ's sake.  

You can go to the King today and approach His throne of grace with confidence, no matter what your fears may be, the King will hold the scepter of grace out to you.
