What does intercession mean in the context of the altar of incense?

Answered in 1 source

Intercession involves presenting prayers to God on behalf of others, facilitated through Christ’s sacrifice.

In the context of the altar of incense, intercession is a vital aspect of how believers engage with God. The incense burned on the altar symbolizes the prayers that ascend to God, representing the intercession of Christ, who is our High Priest. This intercession is not merely a ritualistic act; it signifies Christ standing before the Father, advocating for us based on His completed work. As Hebrews 7:25 highlights, Christ forever lives to intercede for His people, ensuring that our prayers, though imperfect, are heard and accepted by God through Him.
