We Have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous

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 have a great high priest,that is passed into the heavens,Jesus the Son of God,let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which 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 advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the 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.


If you have not already accepted the gift that Jesus came to give, may you choose Christ today and choose to live.
