The Extraordinary Intercessor

UV 3303/10000 The Intercessor
Therefore He is able also to save forever completely, perfectly, for eternity those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf with God.

Hebrews 7 v 25

Jesus had mediated a better covenant uniting man with God based on better promises. He is both able and willing to save us completely, perfectly and forever. He is even now interceding on our behalf at the right hand of God, the Father. It is said that we learn more at rock bottom than on mountain tops but Jesus, as our perfect High Priest, is able to lift us from the rock bottom we hit from time to time in the course of our lives and sustain us on the mountain tops of our lives.

Our lives are opportunities for us to rejoice again and again for Jesus has wrought so great a salvation for us. There is no reason or excuse for us to be sad or depressed. We may fall seven times or on every day of every week like the righteous man that scripture speaks of but each time we will rise by the grace of Christ. As a High Priest, He has already offered the only sacrifice needed for our justification. He has filled us as vessels meant for sanctification with the Holy Spirit. The enemy might attempt to attack, afflict, accuse us but the Lord will rescue us every time.

Since Jesus has suffered as we have while He lived on Earth and much more than we will ever suffer in the manner of His death, He empathises completely with us. He understands our expectations, ability to endure, weaknesses, threats and actively defends us in known and unknown ways. As His followers, unlike the rest of the world, it is not wealth or success or power or fame that we seek but to live at the center of His perfect will. He always inclines His ear to hear our pleas, our cries, our prayers and even our mere sighs. We should therefore spare ourselves needless suffering by bringing to Him as soon as possible and as often as necessary our burdens, challenges, problems, deficiencies.
