How do we know the doctrine of Jesus' intercession is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrine is affirmed in Scripture, especially in Hebrews 5, where Jesus is described as the high priest who intercedes for His people.

In Hebrews 5, we are informed of Jesus' role as a high priest, which includes the function of interceding for sinners. This verse emphasizes that He can empathize with our weaknesses because He shares in our human experience. Furthermore, Jesus bears our names before the Father, symbolically represented by the two onyx stones that He wears upon His shoulders. His ongoing intercession shows that He continuously brings our needs and struggles to God, affirming His commitment to our salvation and spiritual welfare.
