He has the Father's ear—and the Father's heart!

"He ever lives to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25

He died for our sins once. But He lives to plead for us daily, hourly, moment by moment! 

He possesses an endless life, an unchangeable priesthood. 
He appears in heaven as our great High Priest; 
our names are on His breastplate; 
He is intimately acquainted with our affairs;
and He ever lives to intercede for His people!

He presents His precious blood, His perfect righteousness; and He pleads them for our pardon, preservation, and glorification. 

He has the Father's ear—and the Father's heart!

How wonderful His love!

He first left heaven for us, and on earth He laboured, suffered, died, in our stead. He then returned to heaven for us—and there He lives, pleads, and secures our best interests!

He witnesses all our changes—but He changes not.

He is often grieved by our inconsistencies and sins—but still pleads on our behalf. 

He undertook our cause—when there was nothing in us to move or induce Him to do so! And He still feels the deepest interest in us, pleads for us, and rejoices to do us good!

What a source of comfort, what a ground of confidence is this!

"If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

There, as our great High Priest, He stands,
And pleads before the mercy seat;
Our cause is in His faithful hands,
Our enemies beneath His feet!
