‘Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’

There is always another side to the coin.

Have you noticed that you no longer rush to pick up the mail, like you do when it's your birthday, because you know that all there will be is brown envelopes – bills.

But wait, in some countries or places there are not even the utilities to supply the energy for those bills.

For some reason you find yourself at the ‘NHS walk-in centre.’ Not feeling too good, which is why you are there, your waiting time is over 5 hours for a 3 minutes face to face with the Doctor.

But hold on, in most countries there is no NHS (National Health Service), maybe one Doctor for the whole town and waiting times, for a face to face, up to a month.

There is always another side to the coin, except in the case of grace and mercy. They come pretty much as a pair. We have been saved through God’s grace when we clearly deserved to die. As Ephesians 2:5 states,

‘even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),’

We are at the mercy of God through His kindness and life sacrifice because he loves us. He didn’t have to do it, he chose to. Hebrews 4:16

‘Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’

We can acknowledge that sacrifice by choosing the 2 sided coin.
