Jesus didn’t just come and die for us. Jesus wasn’t just raised from the dead to give us life. As incredible as those gifts are, Jesus adds another blessing to all he has done and is doing for us: he lives for us in the Father’s presence, interceding for us. Jesus, as our intercessor, knows what it is like to be mortal and to face the struggles we face. So, dear friend in Jesus, until Jesus returns to take us home to our Father in heaven, know that Jesus is in the Father’s presence in heaven for our good, always there to ask God for grace to help us in our times of need. Jesus is not only our Savior; he is also our defender, intercessor, friend, brother, and constant presence at the Father’s side (Hebrews 2:10-11, 14-18, 4:14-16).Precious Savior, Lord Jesus, O how I love you. You sacrificed heaven for me. You gave up dignity to redeem me on the cross. You destroyed death to assure me of my life with you forever. today, dear Lord, I am most thankful and deeply aware that with every prayer I offer and every step I take, you are in the Father’s presence, for me. Thank you for your constant intercession so I can pray in the authority and grace of your name. Amen.
