Deepertruth: Thy Word is a Lamp to my Feet and a Light to my Path.

Hebrew 4:16, “Let us go with confidence to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace.” This Throne represents the highest authority. It is God’s authority. It is from here that the majesty of God dwells.

Of this Throne, Jesus would state, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3:20-22

The Throne of Grace referred to in Hebrews 4:16 speaks of the great High Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who have passed through the heavens. It is from this Throne of Grace according to Revelation 3:20 that we are invited to a feast, this is a Eucharistic feast. Consider Jesus words (John 2:19), “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” What Jesus said here is used against him (Mark 14:58),“We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that was made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.”

In both text (Revelation 3:20, John 2:19) Jesus is clearly referring to his body. St. Paul asks this question, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
