Seize the Moment – Day 308
Jesus is Praying for you!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Tuesday, January 19.
Did you know that the most powerful intercessor in the world is praying perfectly for you, right now?
This is true for every believer in Christ Jesus. Listen to Hebrews 7:25-27,
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
Jesus is holy, innocent, without sin, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
Jesus is the High Priest, above all other priests, and His priesthood will never come to an end.
Jesus is the mediator and guarantor of the covenant of grace. And He is praying for you right now!
Listen to Paul explain this powerful prayer ministry of Jesus in Romans 8:33-35a, “Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ?”
Just like the truth of God’s forgiveness through the finished work of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary for your eternal life, Jesus’ promise for ongoing intercession at the throne of God’s grace for you day-to-day life is secure.
