How can we understand the intercession of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's intercession signifies His ongoing role as our mediator, continuously advocating on behalf of believers.

The intercession of Christ is a vital aspect of His priestly role after His ascension. Hebrews 7:25 states, '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.' This means that Jesus does not merely save and leave; He actively engages in advocating for His people before the Father. His intercessory work encompasses being a mediator who pleads our case and presents His sacrifice as the basis for our forgiveness. As such, believers are assured of acceptance with God, knowing that Christ's mediation secures their position as justified in God's sight. This is a profound comfort as it emphasizes the continuous nature of God's grace towards us in Christ.
