How does the concept of intercession relate to our understanding of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's intercession reflects His ongoing role as our mediator who pleads our case before the Father.

The idea of intercession is beautifully represented by Judah's plea before Joseph, which parallels Christ's intercessory work in heaven as depicted in Hebrews 4:15. Our High Priest is intimately aware of our struggles and petitions God on our behalf, ensuring that we are never abandoned or condemned. Through His intercession, He is able to represent us perfectly, having fulfilled the law and satisfied God's justice, thus granting believers the assurance of acceptance before the throne of grace.
