Jesus Is Watching Out For You

Scripture Reading:  Romans 8:31-39

Focus Verse: Romans 8:34  "Who then is the one who condemns [God's chosen ones]?  No one.  Christ Jesus who died, more than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us."

Did you know that Satan goes before God accusing you of things?  But Jesus is right there covering our case before God.  Some of what Satan is saying to God about us is true because as believers we are still sinful creatures.  But I'm glad it is all forgiven with the blood of Jesus.  Jesus is seated at the right hand of God watching out for you.  He is qualified because He never sinned.  When God looks at us He sees His Son Jesus, and He sees the righteousness.  Hebrews 7:25 says, "Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save everyone who comes to God through Him.  He lives forever to plead with God on their behalf."

Jesus also has another job to do.  When we pray to God, He makes our prayers to be appropriate for God.  Jesus knows just the right thing to say to God on our behalf.  Hebrews 9:24 says, "For Christ has entered into heaven itself to appear now before God as our Advocate.  He did not go into the earthly place of worship, for that was merely a copy of the real Temple in heaven."

So, thank Jesus today for watching out for you before a Holy and Awesome God.
