Why is Christ's intercession significant for believers?

Jesus’ intercessory role, as described in Luke 22, emphasizes His assurance of our salvation amidst our failures. He tells Peter, 'I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail.' This highlights that Christ actively upholds and secures our faith. Believers can take comfort in knowing that our faith does not solely rely on us—Jesus, seated at the right hand of the Father, intercedes for us. This intercession assures us that despite our sins and weaknesses, we are held firm in God’s grace and love, affirming our position as His beloved children.
