Joel Beeke: Gaining Access to God's Throne Room

[@stefanvitale4850]

"When you have the least impulse to pray, do so." my favorite part, hits hard

[@lukeemberson4951]

The way he says Calvin makes me chuckle every time. That being said, this is a wonderful exhortation about prayer. Oh Lord please help me to pray better and more often.

[@montydec1972]

Beautiful! He gives us the resources to come to Him in payer. Amen!

I love Joel Beeke preach…and I totally understand the point he’s making in the sermon! And I love reading Calvin!! But I struggle every time I hear the term ‘throne room’ in a sermon or a book… there’s a throne in heaven, yes…there’s a king on the throne, praise the Lord! But somehow putting that throne in a room is to me somehow domesticating our victorious Christ. When we get to heaven one day, there won’t be a throne room. There’ll be a throne that fills heaven… and I’m always reminded that I should approach that throne with trembling, awe and wonder.

God answers what we should have been asking for. Wow!

[@jody2873]

Boy this is really good!

[@blairwillis9199]

Wonderful.

[@rogercollins8875]

I must ask why all the pointings to John Calvin. Is this a Calvinist religion? The Apostles asked Jesus to teach them to pray.. Can we not do the same? 1 John 2:27 actually all of chapter two but emphasis on verse 27 Let us put more honor on Christ in sermon than man. But that being said and hope taken with meekness, this message is very important and can be applied.

If we have access to the throne room to be intercessors for others, doesnt that make us high priests as well? Doesn't God communicate intimately with every born again son? Wasnt the veil ripped when I too died on my own cross and entrance was granted to me too?

[@jody2873]

Christ's death ripped that veil FOR you because we couldn't do it ourselves. Hebrews says Christ is our great High priest, and we are priests. Very good news!

[@RoseSharon7777]

@@jody2873 Actually there is no high priest in the new covenant. We all can speak directly to the Father. No need for anyone to do it for us. When we don't know what to pray the holy spirit intercedes for us. As noted in the NT.

@@jody2873 If Jesus died to pay our sin debt then he would still be dead. That's the price I would have had to pay on judgement day l, eternal death. We must crucify our own flesh on our cross so we can rise to new life. And offer our love ves as a sacrifice for others. It was a spiritual allegory in the gospels.

@@RoseSharon7777 Jesus is literally called our high priest in hebrews.

[@RoseSharon7777]

@@oseiaschiquellajunior8356 But I was also given the same new name as Jesus received. Phillipians 2:9-10, Rev. 3:12. If you have access to the throne room then you are a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
