Advocate

Suppose you were pleading your case in a court of law. You would want to enlist the services of the most qualified attorney or advocate you could trust. You would want them to learn everything they could about your case and related laws. How much more confidence would it give you if they had experienced all that you went through and felt the suffering that you did?

Hebrews 7:25 says, “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” Jesus is always seated at the right hand of the Father making requests for each of us who trust in Him. Jesus is the perfect advocate and intercessor for us because He has suffered in every way that we have and knows every weakness that we can possess. So when He speaks to the Father on our behalf, He speaks with complete knowledge and empathy. He speaks with the full authority and power of the Son of God.
