The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was a more perfect sacrifice in comparison to the sacrifices made under the Mosaic Law. Jesus Christ’s sacrifice was the reality, whereas Mosaic sacrifices were mere shadows of the reality.
Under the Mosaic Law priests could only enter the earthly Holy of Holies in order to make atonement for sin. Jesus, in contrast, was the great High Priest who entered heaven itself in order to make atonement for sin (Hebrews 4:14).
Further, under the Mosaic Law blood sacrifices had to be repeated year after year and could never make anyone perfect before God. The sacrifice of Jesus, in contrast, was a once for all sacrifice that could actually make people holy (Hebrews 10).
Given the superiority of Christ’s sacrifice, we may have great confidence in Him and His priestly intercession for us. We may come before God boldly. We have been made holy by Christ’s sacrifice and, as a result, we may approach God without any doubt that we may do so and without any fear of retribution for having done so. Although once we were far away from God, we have now been brought near (Ephesians 2:13).
When Christians come boldly to the throne of our gracious God we will receive His mercy. That is, we will receive His pardon for any sin that still remains in our lives. Since Jesus Christ by His sacrifice paid the penalty for our sins, we may come boldly before God and receive the mercy that is ours in virtue of Christ’s sacrifice.
When Christians come boldly to the throne of our gracious God we will also receive His grace. That is, we will receive His blessing and help for any needs that still remain in our lives. The grace we receive will help us “when we need it most.” When we come before God we may boldly ask for help during the trials, troubles, and tribulations of life and we may expect God to help.
If you have felt timid and unworthy when coming before God in prayer, then let today be the day you start to come boldly and expectantly before His throne.
