Let’s be clear. No worship leader, pastor, or musician can bring us into the presence of God. It’s not a certain prayer, a particular liturgy, a sacred object, the right bodily posture, or a certain mind-set. Only Jesus can lead us into God’s presence, and he accomplished that through his substitutionary death, which forever removed the curtain of God’s judgment that separated us from his presence (Heb. 10:19–22).
