Before the Throne - Justin Detmers
Episode description
In this message, Justin uses the unusual stories of Buckingham Palace intruders to illustrate the gravity of entering a royal presence, drawing a parallel to the sacredness of the Old Testament tabernacle where even Moses was barred. He unpacks the tabernacle's structure and rituals, underscoring the divide between a holy God and human sinfulness. Justin then transitions to the New Testament, presenting Jesus as the ultimate high priest and sacrifice whose death tore down the barrier, offering direct access to divine grace. On Palm Sunday, he contrasts the historical crowd's political expectations of Jesus with his true role as the one who grants access to God's throne, encouraging believers to embrace their status as a "royal priesthood" through faith in Christ.
