He stands to mediate for you. He is the great High Priest who is pleading in your behalf; and you are to come and present your case to the Father through Jesus Christ. Thus you can find access to God; and though you sin, your case is not hopeless. “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
1 John 2:1. Testimonies for the Church 2:591.
He presents us to the Father clothed in the white raiment of His own character. He pleads before God on our behalf, saying: I have taken the sinner’s place. Look not upon this wayward child, but look at Me. Does Satan plead loudly against our souls, . claiming us as his prey, the blood of Christ pleads with greater power.
Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 9.
The work of Christ in the sanctuary above, presenting his own blood each moment before the mercy seat, as He makes intercession for us, should have its full impression upon the heart, that we may realize the worth or each moment. Jesus ever liveth to make intercession for us: but one moment carelessly spent can never be recovered.
Counsels on Sabbath School Work, 111.
Language is too feeble for us to attempt to portray the love of God. We believe it, we rejoice in it, but we cannot comprehend it.
