"OPEN AT THE TOP"

"We have a great High Priest who gas passed
 through The heavens, Jesus The Son of God.
                                                  Hebrews 4:14


A preacher was delivering  a sermon before a
large congregation. He pointed out that
believers aren't exempt from trouble. In fact,
some Christians are surrounded by trouble,
trouble to the right, trouble to the left, trouble
in front, and trouble behind. At this, a man who
had served the Lord for many years, shouted,
"Glory to God, it's always open at the top!"
     This man's confidence in God is fully
supported by Hebrews 4. Because our great
Hight Priest, Jesus the Son of God, has
ascended to heaven and is interceding there
 for us, we have good grounds for trusting
Him in the midst of trouble (v.14). Jesus is
able sympathize with our weaknesses, for when
He lived on earth He was tempted in every way
that we are, yet He never sinned(v.15). His
throne is completely approachable and is called
"the throne of grace" (v.16).
     In Hebrews we're urged to look up from our
trials and to approach that throne boldly by faith.
Through humble prayer, we will receive mercy
for our failures and grace to help us in our time
of need (v.16).
     Are life's trials and temptations hemming
you in? Has the tempter told you there's
nowhere to go? Take heart. Keep looking up
It's always open at the top! Line of the song say,
He commanded the cloud above to open the door
of heaven for us!
         When life's afflictions batter you
               Like waves upon the sand,
              Remember to look up to God
          And He commanded the storm 
         Peace be still you are the Lord
         the Savior of the world.
