JESUS CHRIST:      The Foundation of our Faith      Our Intercessor!        Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God. He is not bored all day! He functions      as our intercessor. He deals with us and confers with God on our behalf. He entreats      God for us according to the Will of God. He ever lives to make intercession for us!        Romans 8: 34           Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ           that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who           is even at the right hand of God, who also           maketh intercession for us.        Remember the record about the woman caught in adultery? The men who caught her      wanted to stone her to death. Imagine for a moment this woman, as she was caught      in the act, then grabbed by these big, burly men. Maybe she was not fully dressed!      Imagine her embarrassment, her shame, her pain, and her turmoil. Imagine her      terror! She gets dragged across town and thrown at the feet of Jesus Christ!      In front of all these people, perhaps some were strangers, and some were those      she recognized as neighbors and friends, accused of a sin so terrible that its      punishment was death by stoning!       Her eyes wide with fright and remorse, imagine her pleading silently, "Spare      my life, I am a sinful woman!" Imagine the compassion Jesus had for her as he      thought of all the Old Testament records about adultery and its penalties. Imagine      Jesus, in his spirit, conferring with God over the matter. Then Jesus said, "He that      is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone. "      None of the accusers were without sin. Jesus was the only one present who was      without sin. However, He did not choose to condemn her. He did not choose to      stone her for her sin. He chose to be her intercessor instead. He interceded      on her behalf, conferring with God, and saved her life. He forgave her. He also      implored her to go sin no more.      The Power Bible CD defines intercession as follows: "to chance upon, i.e.      (by implication) confer with; by extension to entreat (in favor or against)."      To confer with someone is to consult together, compare opinions, or carry on a discussion.      To entreat is to ask earnestly for something, to beseech, to implore.      Jesus goes to His Father on our behalf, petitioning the Father, imploring Him,      consulting together with Him, saving us to the uttermost!        Hebrews 7:25           Wherefore he is able also to save them to           the uttermost that come unto God by him,           seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.        Jesus is our intercessor and he ever lives to do so. He will not condemn us! Amen.      -Carol Kenreigh
