Hebrews 4 & 5
Jesus serves as our Great High Priest who bridges the gap between God and humanity that sin created. Unlike Old Testament priests who had to repeatedly offer sacrifices and were themselves sinful, Jesus ascended to heaven and made a permanent sacrifice for our sins. Because He walked among us and was tempted in every way we are yet never sinned, He understands our struggles completely. This means we can approach God's throne of grace with confidence, knowing we'll be met with mercy and grace rather than shame or condemnation. Nothing is too big or too small to bring before Him, and we can respond to His victory with worship and giving from grateful hearts.
