There will never be a time when obedience will be harder than when you're hurting.

But Dr. Tony Evans says that's not the time to draw away, it's the time to draw near.

Jesus is a delivering Savior. He is the source of deliverance.

So if you're hurting, if you are struggling, if you are weak, draw near.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

A lot of people can point you toward God, but today Dr. Evans explains that only one person

can connect you with him.

Let's join him as he explores

what it means to draw near to the one with that life-changing connection power.

We've come to chapter five, we've concluded chapter four by being told we have this great

high priest, verse 14, who's passed through the heavens. Jesus, the the son of God let us hold fast our confession

don't quit don't walk away from your identification with Jesus Christ why because we do not have a

high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

So the fact that you and I are tempted to sin was certainly equally true of Jesus Christ,

yet he did not sin, that is, he did not acquiesce, he did not yield to it, he did not succumb to it, but he faced it.

He can not only relate to what it feels like, he also can relate to overcoming it, because it's yet without sin.

Then it concludes, therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace.

The throne is where a sovereign lives, a king.

But it's a throne that dispenses grace.

That is, God's unmerited favor.

When you and I are struggling, that is not the time to draw away.

That is the time to draw near.
