Let me speak to you plainly, the way it was given.
You have been taught to honour the cross — and you should. The cross answered every question. The cross paid every debt. The cross settled sin once and for all.
But hear this clearly: you were never meant to live there.
The cross was the place of payment.
The throne is the place of position.
The Scripture says in Hebrews 12:2 (KJV):
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
He endured the cross — but He did not stay there.
The church at large has been straggling at the cross for hundreds of years. We sing about it. We cry about it. We rehearse it. And thank God for it.
But He endured it — and then He moved.
Where did He move?
Hebrews 4:14 (KJV) says:
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.”
He passed into the heavens.
He is not at the cross.
He is not in the grave.
He is in heaven.
Now ask yourself the question: Where should we be?
If your High Priest has passed into the heavens, then listen carefully to what the next instruction says.
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV):
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Let us come boldly.
Not crawling.
Not begging.
Not trying to convince God.
Boldly.
The cross gave you access.
The throne gives you authority.
