A Privileged Audience.

An excerpt from Paul E. Little's "Know What You Believe"

Because of the ascension and exaltation of Christ, we have free and confident access into the very presence of God. We can "come boldly unto the throne of grace" (Heb 4:16). In Old Testament times, access to the presence of God was limited to one person - the high priest; to one place - the holy of holies in the Tabernacle (or the Temple); and to one time - the Day of Atonement. But because Christ is our High Priest and has passed into the heavens, each of us has access to the Creator at any time and at any place. How the angels must wonder that we make so little use of this privilege of audience with the King!
