What does the Bible say about the intercession of Christ?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ intercedes for believers with God the Father, exemplifying His role as our High Priest.

John 17:1-8 beautifully illustrates Christ's role as our High Priest, as He addresses God the Father in prayer. In this prayer, He pleads for His disciples and for all who would believe in Him through their word. This demonstrates the ongoing intercession of Christ; He continuously represents us before the Father, securing our eternal salvation. This intercessory work is critical for believers as it assures us that we have an advocate who knows our weaknesses and covers us with His righteousness.
