JESUS: INTERCESSOR

But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to

God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

HEBREWS 7:24-25

Jesus is your Intercessor. When He was raised from the dead, He ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father. As your Intercessor, Jesus can present your prayers to the Father, as a lawyer presents a case to the judge. Just as a lawyer speaks on behalf of another, so Jesus will present your case to the heavenly Father. You come to the Father through Jesus.

I need an intercessor because I feel so unworthy to pray. Jesus, be my

Intercessor; ask the Father to forgive my sin and cleanse me by Your blood.

Maybe you've not received answers to your prayers because you've asked for the wrong thing or you've asked with the wrong attitude or you've asked at the wrong time. Come to the Father through Jesus; He will be your Intercessor to communicate your prayers to the Father. He will pray the right request at the right time with the right attitude. Jesus can be your Intercessor, because He became flesh and lived among us as a man (see John 1:14). As your high priest, He understands your weaknesses, for He faced the same temptations that you face yet did not sin. Now you can come boldly to the throne of the heavenly Father through Jesus (see Hebrews 4:15-16).

Thank You for understanding me and forgiving me. Thank

You for correctly presenting my prayers to the Father. I feel

 confident when You plead my case for me. Amen.

Reading: Hebrews 7:14-28

Key Thought: As your Intercessor, Jesus can plead your case to the Father.
