WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE!

1 JOHN 2: 1-2

"I am writing this so you will not sin.  If anyone does sin, WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE who pleads our case before the Father.  He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous."  

Have you ever wondered what it will be like at the day of your judgement?  What will the Great White Throne Room be like with all of its stature, pomp and circumstance?  The Father will be sitting in judgement and now it is time for your case.  You know that you have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.  You are guilty of many breaches of God's Laws and commandments. You deserve to be found guilty and punished for your many wrongs.  If we ever need help it will be at this time.  If you need an advocate to plead your case before the Father there is only one who is truly righteous and deserving to be heard and that is Jesus Christ your Lord and Saviour.

What is the court appointed an attorney for you that could not pay the price of your sins?  What if the attorney was just as guilty as yourself and the Father knew it?  Who could help us?Thank God WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE or saviour who will plead our case before the Father and be able and truly righteous enough to present and win our case.  Jesus has paid the price for our sins is the only one who can present and win the ear of the Judge and Lord.  Jesus has all ready suffered the hardship and pain and sympathizes with all mere mortal men who have been afflicted by this lifetime.  In our moment of trial He will give suitable direction and support and Jesus Christ will achieve a just outcome, full of Mercy, Grace and forgiveness!

Jesus, the only righteous one, has been the sacrifice for our sins and is the atonement.  Jesus died for all or us so that we could be forgiven and Saved from death.  To those who have come to know and believe in Jesus Christ there is Salvation.  So even though we have violated God's laws and have repeatedly sinned WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE that will intercede on our behalf and Save us from the second death.  Jesus is the only one who can bring mercy and justice to our souls.  Because Jesus conformed to God's will in every way, He is the only one who can present our case and prevail.  We need to thank God every day for the perfect plan of the Lord Jesus Christ.  WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE!
