He is able to supply me with all the grace I need to honor God in every situation. Jesus is able to give me the grace and mercy I need when I’m weak, weary, overwhelmed, or burdened. He understands how difficult and strenuous temptation can be, and because he was tempted as I am tempted, he is able to perfectly help me in my times of weakness and need. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. He is the one who sits upon the throne of grace, ready to give me exactly what I need when I need it.įor we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Not only is Jesus my Savior, but he is also my Great High Priest who intercedes for me to the Father. Why do I need Jesus? I need Jesus as my savior and rescuer and redeemer. As it says in Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Now that I am in Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation left for me. He became a man, lived a sinless life in my place, died my death upon the cross, and then rose again. Jesus is the savior I so desperately needed. Someone to rescue me both from myself and from the wrath that my sins had brought upon me. I was in desperate, dire need of a savior. I was not his friend, not seeking to please him, not seeking to walk in righteousness.Īnd you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience- among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. I was moving toward a head-on collision with the furious wrath of God. I was destined to be punished for my sins in eternity. My sins against God separated me from him. More than anything else, I am desperate for a savior. In those forgetful moments, I need to turn my mind once again to scripture and remember some key truths. As if I can make it through the trials and thorns and valleys of this life without his sustaining grace.Īs if I am somehow strong enough to make it on my own. Like I need blood pumping through my veins.Īctually, I need him even more than those things, for he is the one who provides those all those things for me.Īnd yet so often I forget that I need Jesus. Like I need water and air and life itself.
