Jesus Christ: Our intercessor, our advocate!

LINK

Jesus Christ has suffered just as much or worse than us, we are sure that he does not know us more than we know ourselves, he understands our weaknesses very well.

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in every way tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with confidence, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:14-16

We all have difficult situations in our lives, at some point we all have problems, but have you ever wondered why some of these people go through problems and difficulties with confidence and others feel overwhelmed with much doubt and fear?

Perhaps this happens because they still do not have enough knowledge or the correct vision of who Jesus is, who our father is. We simply know that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, but: do I know him as my high priest or my advocate who intercedes for me all the time before God, who pleads for me showing that he has already paid the price on the cross of Calvary so that I may have freedom?

We have read in the previous text that Jesus Christ sympathizes with our weaknesses since he knows us perfectly because Jesus Christ has been tempted just like us. The Lord Jesus today, right now, has experienced our pain, the same suffering and even our guilt. He came to the cross. Sometimes we do not understand the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Let us remember that no one told Jesus a story of suffering like he suffered the same or much worse than us, let us simply imagine that at one moment God the Father was nailed to the cross and turned his back on Jesus who at that moment was carrying all the sin of humanity, at that very moment Jesus cried out: "because you have abandoned me", we will simply never experience this situation on the part of God since Jesus Christ took that place.

Jesus Christ knows our pain, He knows our suffering, the shame that often invades us, but let us not forget the following: God the Father placed on Jesus Christ all the guilt of humanity, past, present and future guilt. Let us be rational in this sense and not let ourselves be carried away by feelings of guilt, we are children of God and we have complete provision from Jesus Christ because of the sacrifice He made on the cross, nothing and no one can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
