What does the Bible say about the intercessory role of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ prays for His people, ensuring their faith does not fail (Luke 22:32).

Scripture emphasizes the intercessory role of Jesus Christ, particularly in passages such as Luke 22:32 where He assures Simon Peter, 'I have prayed for you that your faith fail not.' This promise reveals the gracious and faithful nature of Christ, as He acts as our High Priest, interceding for us even amidst our weaknesses. In John 17:9, He specifies, 'I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.' This demonstrates the exclusivity of His intercession for His elect, highlighting that His prayers are effective and founded on the assurance of maintaining our faith against the dangers presented by Satan.
