GRACE Hebrews 4:14-16

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence,so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. 

Therefore, since we have a great high priest 
Hebrews 2:17  For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

who has ascended into heaven 
Hebrews 6:19-20  We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 8:1  Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, ...
Hebrews 9:24  For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.

Jesus the Son of God 
Matthew 4:3  The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are 
Hebrews 2:18  Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

yet he did not sin 
2 Corinthians 5:21  God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Let us then approach 
Hebrews 7:18-19  The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

God's throne of grace with confidence 
Ephesians 3:12  In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
