READ : Hebrews 7:14-28
“…he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” – Isaiah 53:12
Think about it. Jesus preached and taught for three and a half years. Since then, He has been interceding for us. Three and a half years of teaching compared to two thousand years of prayer!
The Bible teaches very clearly that Jesus is our shepherd and that He cares for us. Consider this: If you were a pastor caring for a congregation and had to travel abroad, would your heart not be with the people you had left behind? Would you not pray for them? Would you not send messengers to them? Would you not send gifts to the congregation to help them along their way? This is exactly what is happening: Jesus keeps sending messages, gifts and blessings to us (Romans 8:34).
Jesus is alive! He is able to save us to the uttermost. In other words, He is rescuing us from every extreme and distressing situation. We are being saved to the uttermost because of Jesus’ prayer. Even in the Old Testament, there were predictions about the great ministry of Jesus because He was going to be an intercessor. Salvation is affecting every part of our lives because of Jesus’ intercession. Think about how your converts would be saved to the uttermost if you prayed like Jesus prayed.
Intercession truly makes you into a great man of God. I have rarely seen a great man of God who is not a man of prayer. Do you want to be numbered among the great and strong in God’s army? Move away from debates, arguments and endless discussion and become an intercessor today.
