I have always wanted to go into a major league dugout during a game. I have been in some of those dugouts during stadium tours, but never during a game. Why? Because I have never been invited. I would guess that we all have some place that we would love to enter, but have never been invited into, so we remain outside.
Those who trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have an invitation to the place of greatest honor. We are invited to come before the throne of Almighty God. And we can enter His presence boldly with confidence. Not because we are worthy of such honor, but rather because of who goes with us. Jesus Himself will go with His brothers and sisters. Beyond that, Jesus will even speak to the Father on our behalf as both our advocate and intercessor. So those of you who trust in Jesus, go boldly before the throne of God and let Jesus make your requests known to the Father.
Ephesians 3:11-12 says, “This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.”
