It's just me!

Today's reading is in Exodus again and it follows on from God's commandments to Moses. In chapter 28, God instructs Moses to make a uniform for Aaron, so that he can approach God on behalf of the people. This got me thinking...I don't need a uniform to approach God. I can come just as I am. I don't need to have a priest go and chat to God for me, I can talk to God myself. 


                                           Hebrews 4:14-16 

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. ¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. ¹⁶ Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.



When Jesus died, he made a way for us to have a direct relationship with God. We no longer need to have a priest ask for forgiveness for us and make a sacrifice. When Jesus died on the cross he was the ultimate sacrifice which means that we no longer need to make those sacrifices, we just have to believe in him.
So lets do what Hebrews 4 says and 'approach the throne of God with confidence'
