The Mediator of Praise

In the closing of Hebrews we are reminded of the offices of Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King. In the remembrance of these three offices comes the warning not to shrink back to our sinful state. As Christ mediates on our behalf we are to continue to put to death the old man and be diligent in the means of grace. By not attending to the means of grace with diligence, one becomes apathetic to the ways of the Lord resulting in a hardening of the heart. Let us draw near to the throne of grace with confidence by attending to the means of grace with diligence and resting in the mediation of Christ.
