Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us. (Romans 8:34)
When you are battling with sin, do you feel alone? Well, good news, Jesus is at the right hand of God interceding for you. To intercede means to stand in the gap between two parties in order to bring about reconciliation and forgiveness. Jesus is standing in the gap between you and the Father. Jesus is pleading your case. Jesus is your advocate. Remember, you are not alone in your battle with sin. ~ Jeff M Newman
Check out Lesson 20 to learn more about Jesus being your advocate.
