OUR RIGHTEOUS HELPER
1 John 2:1 ERV "My dear children, I write this letter to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone sins, we have Jesus Christ to help us. He always did what was right, so he is able to defend us before God the Father."
There are some people who cannot be called upon to bail you out in times of trouble because they have no integrity; they have no moral right to speak on behalf of another because they are as guilty as the offender.
But Jesus is able to make intercession for us before the Father because He did nothing wrong while on earth. He can stand before God boldly as a Faithful High Priest, fully justified, having met all the requirements of both the law and the Kingdom. Hallelujah!
I love Hebrews 4:14-16. It says, "We have a great high priest who has gone to live with God in heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us continue to express our faith in him. Jesus, our high priest, is able to understand our weaknesses. When Jesus lived on earth, he was tempted in every way. He was tempted in the same ways we are tempted, but he never sinned. With Jesus as our high priest, we can feel free to come before God’s throne where there is grace. There we receive mercy and kindness to help us when we need it." Glory!
