THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERCESSION IN JESUS CHRIST


Intercession in JESUS ​​is an important spiritual work for the justification, deliverance and salvation of souls both in the Church and in the world. The Church and the world always need people who intervene with God by Jesus in their behalf. In the exercise of his function, the intercessor in JESUS ​​is a man engaged in various spiritual tasks which are summarized in three great services.

The intercessor in JESUS ​​accomplished with God the favor of men the roles of cleanser, lawyer, and spiritual soldier. He cleanses the sins of his neighbor: "If therefore I have washed your feet, I, the Lord and the Master, you must also wash your feet one to another." John 13:14. He pleads for sinners: "Forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, As thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt till now.

And the LORD said, I forgive you, as thou hast asked. "Numbers 14: 19-20. He fights for the weak:" Epaphras, who is of yours, salutes you, servant of Jesus Christ, To fight for you in his prayers, so that, perfect and fully persuaded, you will persevere in complete submission to the will of God. "Colossians 4:12. Through his spiritual actions, he washes by JESUS ​​the sins of men. He pleads in their favor, watch and fight for their deliverance.

The intercessor in JESUS ​​is the image of the Lord, the defender of the cause of the weak, the ignorant, and the lost to the Lord God. In the breach he pleads in their favor against the accusations of the accuser of the brothers who is the devil: The accuser of our brethren, the one who accuses them before our God day and night "(Revelation 12:10). The breadth and delicacy of the work of intercession in JESUS ​​requires that the intercessor be instructed and trained. He must be able to serve God in piety and fear, in the will of God, according to the Word of the Lord Jesus.

The intercessor in JESUS ​​who does not attach himself to the Word of the Lord JESUS ​​can turn away from the good spiritual conduct that regulates his work by praying against blood and flesh, working for sordid gain, formulating prayers Curse against his neighbor.

The intercessor in JESUS, a very important worker in maintaining the grace of God in the Church, is a man greatly rewarded by God in JESUS: "Because of the labor of his soul he will satisfy his looks; By his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many men, and he will take care of their iniquities.

Therefore I will give him his share with the great; He will partake of the spoil with the mighty, because he has committed himself to death, and has been put in the number of evildoers, because he has borne the sins of many; That he interceded for the guilty "Isaiah 53: 11-12.
