HE SAW THE LIST: "Jesus...endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrew 12:2
Sorry I'm a day late posting this, but we had our company Christmas lunch yesterday, which lasted well into the evening and I was feeling a bit under the weather when I came home. Straight to bed at 8pm it was for me.
The context of the second verse of the 12th chapter of Hebrews is a discussion of how a Christian's faith should be modeled, and of course that perfect example is Jesus Christ. There is some good commentary about how Christians should see their journey on this Earth and how we should endure life's challenges. However, this particular verse highlights the fact that Jesus himself is seated at God's right hand, and what is he doing there? He's interceding on our behalf, giving our every prayer to God, offering up his crucifixion for each and every sin that we commit and allowing us access to the high and most Holy.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: No saints or angles are needed to approach God, for I have his one and only Son interceding on my behalf.
