Jesus' Sacrifice of Intercession - our risen, ascended, and glorified Saviour has saved us to the uttermost. Our Kinsman-Redeemer, rescued us from our sins and seated us together with Himself in heavenly places as sons of God and joint-heirs with Christ, is currently seated on the right hand of the Majesty on high, interceding and praying for us, defending His children from the accusations of the enemy, and protecting the Church, which is His Body

 What Does Hebrews 7:25 Mean? 

"Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." - Hebrews 7:25 (NASB)

The more we learn of God’s Word and come to an understanding of Who God is, what He is doing, and all that He has planned for those that love Him, the more we see an unveiling of His glory upon glory and the more we recognise God's grace upon grace that is daily being showered upon all His blood-bought children. 

Our risen, ascended, and glorified Saviour has saved us to the uttermost.

Our Kinsman-Redeemer, Who has rescued us from our sins and seated us together with Himself in heavenly places as sons of God and joint-heirs with Christ, is currently seated on the right hand of the Majesty on high, interceding for you, praying for me, defending His children from the accusations of the enemy, and protecting the Church, which is His Body, with His never-ending intercessions to the Father.

Christ ever lives and Christ ever intercedes – for He has power to save through the merit of His atoning work on the cruel Cross of Calvary and His glorious Resurrection.

All power has been given to Him by the Father and so He can, with absolute authority, declare His ability to save to the uttermost, all that trust in His name.

For Christ has promised to save us from the power of sin, the guilt of sin, the nature of sin, and the punishment of sin, but also to sanctify to the uttermost, body, soul, and spirit as day by day His Holy Spirit is conforming us into the image and likeness of Christ Jesus our Lord.

His saving grace is not only for the eternal ages to come but will be carried through to its ultimate completion, for He will never abandon any that have trusted in His name as Saviour and who have come to Him for pardon and peace.

There is no time nor place where His sacrifice of intercession does not reach us, thus underlining His promise: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

The more we learn of God's Word and the wonderful covenant relationship that He has with His Church, the more we discover His showers of blessing and abundant privileges raining down upon our heads and come to an understanding of Who God is, what He is doing, and all that He has planned for those that love Him.

The more we see an unveiling of His glory upon glory, the more we recognise God's grace upon grace that is daily being showered upon all His blood-bought children. 

Surely, we should love to the uttermost the One Who has saved us to the uttermost.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son Who has saved and sanctified me to the uttermost and is daily interceding for me. 

Praise Your wonderful name.

In Jesus' name, 

AMEN.

Intercessory Prayer - true intercession involves bringing the person, or the circumstance that seems to be crashing in on you, before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person or circumstance. Intercession is putting yourself in God’s place; it is having His mind and His perspective. We must pray that person completely through into contact with the very life of God - we pray on the basis of redemption

Vicarious Intercession - our ability to approach God is due entirely to the vicarious, or substitutionary, identification of our Lord with sin. The identification of Jesus with sin means a radical change of all of our sympathies and interests. We have “boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Vicarious intercession means that we deliberately substitute God’s interests in others for our natural sympathy with them

Christ's Priesthood is Unending - Christ can save us in ways which the Old Covenant never could - Jesus is eternally available to intercede for us, and to offer us forgiveness, even right now. Where a human priest would fall short, Christ can save us entirely, since His priesthood is unending. What man's effort cannot achieve, Christ's finished work on the cross has already done
