Q. But what exactly is Jesus interceding for us? 3 P’s
- Protection. John 17:11-15, Luke 22:31-32
- Preservation in suffering. Romans 8:31-37, Hebrews 4:15-16
- Pardon for sin now. 1 John 2:1-2
Because of the cross and the resurrection, He is our living, sympathetic intercessor, continually praying now for our protection, our preservation through suffering and our pardon now if we sin. As we go to sleep every day He continues praying for us.
