Intercession of Christ

Intercession Of Christ.

This refers, in a general sense, to any aid which he, as perpetual High priest, extends to those who approach God confiding in him (Heb 4:16; Heb 7:25-27). He is also represented as offering up the prayers and praises of his people, which become acceptable to God through him (Heb 13:15; 1Pe 2:5; Re 8:3). Of the intercession of Christ we may observe, that it is righteous, for it is founded upon justice and truth (Heb 7:26; 1Jo 3:5), compassionate (Heb 2:17; Heb 5:8), perpetual (Heb 7:25), and efficacious (1Jo 2:1).
