Christ has been defined in many ways: wonderful counselor, price of peace, savior, mighty and the list goes on and on but have you ever thought of Christ as an intercessor. An intercessor is defined as someone who prays on your behalf or in others words, intercedes on your behalf to God the Father. Scriptures tells us two very important things about Christ today. First, He is seated at the right hand of God the Father (Luke 22:69) and secondly, He is literally interceding our our behalf (Hebrews 7:25). Will you just close your eyes for a moment and picture what this looks like......
Christ is sitting right next to God whispering in His ear a prayer for you. I do not know about you but this literally blows me away. Can you imagine a better intercessor? What is even more amazing to me is Christ knows our hearts better than we know them. What a perfect prayer this must be to God. What an amazing savior we have.
So when this life gets really hard and we feel like everything is crashing down around us just remember that we have a Savior who is praying for us. His prayer is perfect and personal. It is about you and your needs. And how can we not help but fall more madly in love with Him knowing that He loves us that much.
Thank you Christ. Thank you for being our savior and our intercessor. Thank you for always loving us and meeting us right where we are. Thank you for never giving up on us. You are the one, the only, who is and who is to come.
I hope that you will just spend sometime today reflecting on this and praising Him for what He has done and will do. We have an amazing Savior!
