Christ As Our Advocate
- Isaiah
53:
- 12 Therefore will I divide him a
portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with
the transgressors: and he bare the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors.
- Romans 8:
- 34 Who is he that
condemneth? It is Christ that died,yea rather, that
is risen again,who is even at the right hand of
God,who also maketh intercession for us.
- Hebrews 2:
- 17 Wherefore in all
things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, thathe might
be a merciful and faithful high priestin things pertaining to
God,to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
- Hebrews 3:
- 1 WHEREFORE, holy brethren,
partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High
Priestof our profession, Christ Jesus;
- NOTE:
- Notice in the following texts that
because Christ is our High Priest we may come boldly before the throne
of grace to obtain mercy.
- Hebrews 4:
- 14 Seeing then that
we havea great high priest,that is passed into the
heavens,Jesus the Son of God,let us hold fast our profession.
- 15 For we have notan high
priestwhich cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities;but was in all points tempted like as we are,yet
without sin.
- 16 Let us therefore
come boldly unto the throne of grace,that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.
- Hebrews 6:
- 20 Whither the forerunner
is for us entered, even Jesus,made an high
priestfor everafter the order of Melchisedec.
- Hebrews 7:
- 24 But this man, (Christ
Jesus) because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable
priesthood.
- 25 Wherefore he is
able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by
him,seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
them.
- 26 For such an high
priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from
sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
- 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high
priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the
peoples: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
- Hebrews 8:
- 1 NOW of the things
which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high
priest,who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in
the heavens;
- 2 A minister of
the sanctuary,and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord
pitched, and not man.
- 3 For every high
priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of
necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
- Hebrews 9:
- 11 But Christ
being come an high priestof good things to come, by a greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of
this building;
- 12 Neither by the blood
of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into
the holy place,having obtained eternal redemption for
us.
- 1 John.2:
- 1 MY little children,
these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin,
we have an advocatewith the Father, Jesus
Christthe righteous:
- NOTE:
- Christ is now in Heaven
interceding for each one of us. He is our Lawyer, our High Priest, our
Advocate before the throne of His Father. Christ is today, in Heaven,
pleading our case, making intersession for us. Can you think of anyone
you would rather have than the One who loves you so much that He was
willing to die in your place? Christ, on the cross, was punished in your
place. He served your death sentence so that you might have a chance to
choose to live.
- Choose Christ today and choose to live.
