Hebrews 7:1-3, 19b-28
Outline
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25, NIV
The news the people of this world detest most about the gospel is that Jesus is alive This is so because by that assertion, no other prophet or leader of any religion has come close to Jesus in superiority. Their prophets or leaders might have done what they could refer to as good work, yet, the truth they do not even attempt to disprove is that all their leaders and prophets died and were buried, If anything remains of such religious leaders, it is their decomposed bones in the graves.
Meanwhile, Jesus Christ is not only alive; He also continues to intercede for men as the Great High Priest before God. The word ‘intercede’ simply means, to speak to someone in order to defend another person. He is the only one who has the authority to defend mankind in heaven because He died for them. By His name alone can we access the presence of God and assail in prayer and petitions. As our advocate, He will not speak against us but for us. Come unto Him and have your case settled by the greatest SAH (Senior Advocate of Heaven).
