Intercession

Hebrews 5-8 

“…but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

Hebrews 7:24, 25

Christ is our eternal high priest, interceding for us before the throne of God. This is a profoundly humbling thought. Those who belong to Christ have an advocate and intercessor who always lives to make intercession for them before the throne of God. This constant availability is the pattern for intercession in the Church today. Christ is equipping and calling intercessors to join him. Those who are available to the Father and his assignments, as well as available to nations and peoples to bring their needs before God. As the Father pours out his grace and Spirit upon us in response to intercession, Christ’s intercession for us is transforming our lives. Our lives are noticed, and our needs are met by the Lord Jesus who always lives to intercede for us.

Will we respond with thanks and worship today, offering our lives as intercessors through Christ for our people?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for interceding for me and my family, for your glory.”
