What is the relationship between Christ's sacrifice and His intercession?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice underpins His intercession, as He always prays based on the merit of His finished work on the cross.

The relationship between Christ's sacrifice and His intercession is foundational in Reformed theology. His intercession is effective because it is grounded in the sacrifice He made at the cross, which paid the penalty for sin. The writer explains that Christ pleads for His people based on His completed work, indicating that God answers His prayers because of the blood of Christ. This union is symbolized by elements from both the brazen altar of sacrifice and the golden altar of incense. Without His sacrifice, His intercessory prayers would lack the necessary efficacy to bring about forgiveness and acceptance for His people before God.
