The Advocacy of our Lord

‎It is because we as Christians still have the remnants of the Old Nature within our heart, ‎that we will have a continual on-going battle with sin. And this battle is compounded by the ‎temptations of the evil one. This is where we must take up our study this afternoon. A true ‎Christian will at times find themselves mightily struggling against sin, and against Satan. ‎And if they should fall into sin, what should they do? Most certainly they should mourn over ‎it, and have dealings with God concerning it; to confess it, and ask for forgiveness for it, and ‎to repent of it. But there is something more that they will need to know if they are to have a ‎conscience which will not be repeatedly condemning them. They will need to remember that ‎they have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Before we partake of the ‎Lord’s Supper, let me speak to you about the Advocacy of our Lord. I want to make mention, ‎‎1st of all, of the tenderness of Christ’s Advocacy. Then 2nd – Of the continual power and ‎sufficiency of His Advocacy. And 3rd – Of the gracious extent of His Advocacy. May the Lord ‎help me to set forth to you the greatness of the love of Jesus Christ in the defense of His ‎people and His preserving of them unto eternal life. ‎
