Easter Sunday is a powerful reminder of the gift we have in access to a holy God. Louie shares about “God’s terms” to highlight how undeserving we are and how gracious He is in desiring to be in a relationship with us. Just as the high priest was – by mercy – able to stand alive in the presence of a holy God, we too have access by the blood of Jesus to a set-apart and glorious God.
Key Takeaway
Embrace access to God and relationship with Him.
1. God was determined to get to you and to get you to Him.
2. God made the way.
3. You now have access through His blood into the presence of a Holy God.
4. Jesus was separated from His Father so you would never be.
5. It’s not about Heaven when you die. It’s about a relationship with God every day of your life.
