Come...just as you are!

Hebrews 4:14-16 reads:

So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

This week of Easter has so much more significance than chocolate bunnies and coloring eggs. God loves you so much that his own son died a gruesome, agonizing death so that you can have hope in this life. (John 3:16-17) Jesus paid the price so you wouldn’t have to. This historic event changed the way in which we are able to approach God…the creator of the universe. He longs for you to come up to him, boldly and without shame, so he can break the chains that have kept you bound up like a prisoner.

Be sure to go to church this Sunday. This Easter, may you let God break your chains…chains of addiction, negative childhood memories, bitterness, etc. May you also accept his act of gracious love for you. Now, put everything else out of your mind for a minute and click on this song. Let the words touch you today!
