MY DEFENDER

If I were to run a stop sign and cause a serious

accident, you can bet that I would be in need

of an attorney, lawyer, advocate, defender or

what ever you choose to call them.  I would be

in serious trouble and need their help for breaking

the law.

Life is like that.  I have no idea how many of 

God's stop signs I have run or how much 

trouble for myself or others I have caused.

Yet like yourself, one day I am going to have

to stand before all mighty God and give an 

account for all those failures of mine.

But I have a defender, attorney, lawyer and

advocate all wrapped up in one  - JESUS CHRIST.

It is common knowledge that Jesus came to

die as a sacrifice in our place - if we will 

accept that fact, and that through him my

sins can be forgiven.

But there is something else that we give 

little attention to.  Read this short portion

from the Holy Bible;

"But because Jesus lives forever, his

priesthood lasts forever.  Therefore he

is able, once and forever, to save those

who come to God through him.  He lives

forever to intercede with God on their

behalf."

(Hebrews 7:24,25 NLT)    

See that last sentence.  Jesus of course 

lives forever and he will intercede with

God on my behalf for ever.

That in it's self should encourage me for

the rest of my life.
