Tuesday Truths - Interceding For Us

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
— 1 Corinthians 10:31

Who then is the one who condemns? 

No one. Christ Jesus who died—

more than that, who was raised to life—

is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. (Rom. 8:34)

Because Jesus lives forever, 

he has a permanent priesthood. 

Therefore he is able to save completely those 

who come to God through him, 

because he always lives to intercede for them. (Heb. 7:24–25)

These passages intrigue me deeply. It is a source of enormous comfort to know that Jesus is interceding for me. (Did you know that Jesus prays for you?!) But to be honest, it is also a little sobering to know that I am living in a story where Jesus needs to pray for me! Wouldn’t you love to know what Jesus is praying over your life right now? Imagine you could agree in prayer with the Son of God — that ought to add some serious firepower to your prayers!
