Consequently, He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25 ESV)
Intercession
Have you ever had someone stick up for you? I know of folk who have received help with Passport troubles, speeding tickets, warranty issues, concert tickets, job applications, school admissions, and special Christmas presents.
It helps to have someone ‘upstairs.’
And Christians have someone Upstairs! Because Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven, He know intercedes for us!
He is on every Christians’ side!
This is why God inclines His ear toward us (Psalm 116:2 et al). Because He is really inclining His ear to Jesus.
When Christians pray, our living brother, our resurrected redeemer, our precious Savior, our beloved (and loving) friend is talking to God on our behalf.
Remember that when you pray. Jesus is helping our prayers!
Because He lives again, He can intercede for us!
