Romans 8:34 - Jesus Intercedes for Us.
Romans 8:34 (NKJV) Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also
risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who
also makes intercession for us.

If you found yourself in a difficult
passage in life, would it bring you some measure of
comfort if Billy Graham called you? "This is Billy
Graham. I wanted to talk to you. I heard you were
going through a hard time. I would like to pray
for you." And of course you answer, "Please
do!"
So Billy Graham prays for you, with that
unforgettable voice of his, bringing your name and needs
before God. Wouldn't you feel good about that? When
it was over, wouldn't you hang up the phone and
say, "Wow. That was unreal. I feel so much better
now."
Then let's say the phone rings again.
"This is Pastor Chuck Smith. I heard you were
experiencing some difficulties. May I pray for you?" So
Chuck Smith prays for you. And then Chuck Swindoll
calls, and he prays for you too! How would you
feel? You would feel good. Three great men of God
have personally called you on the phone and
prayed for your needs by name.
Yet the Bible teaches that Someone much
greater than these is already doing that very thing.
Jesus Christ is praying for you. The Son of God is
interceding for you. What's more, He's not just calling
you on the phone, praying, and then leaving you
alone again. Hebrews 7:25 tells us, "Therefore He
is also able to save to the uttermost those who
come to God through Him, since He always lives to
make intercession for them."
He always lives to make intercession for
you. He always prays for you. In fact, He's
praying for you right now, at the right hand of His
Father in heaven. Hebrews 9:24 says, "For Christ
has not entered the holy places made with hands,
which are copies of the true, but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for
us." Jesus is interceding for you at this very
moment. [By Greg Laurie from Harvest Ministries;
