Jesus is our intercessor as He is seated at the right hand of God, advocating for us and speaking peace to His people.
The New Testament affirms Jesus Christ's role as our intercessor distinctly through His ascension and exaltation. After His resurrection, Christ ascended to sit at the right hand of the Father, a position of power and authority where He continually intercedes for believers (Hebrews 7:25). This is echoed in the sermon where Mordecai’s position next to King Ahasuerus serves as a type of Christ besides the Father, symbolizing how Jesus speaks peace and advocate for His people. The assurance of His intercession brings comfort and hope, reminding Christians that they have a Savior who not only died for their sins but also continually pleads their cause before God.
