AN INTERCESSION OF LOVE

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

Hebrews 7:25 KJV

When Jesus intercedes for us with our Heavenly Father, it is an intercession of love.  Jesus was tempted when He was here on His mission so He knows how it feels to be tempted by satan.  Jesus has warned us to be on the alert because He knows that satan will tempt us “1 Peter 5:8”.

It is so important that we keep our heart in right standing with God because we don’t know when Jesus is coming back for us and we need to be ready to go.  Years ago, when I worked in nursing homes they had inspections and instead of keeping the homes always clean, they sometimes failed the inspections.

If we will keep our heart in right standing with God, we will be ready to go when Jesus comes back for us.  If God were to search our heart today, would He find things that hurt Him and break His heart or would He find things that make Him happy?  May God help us to keep our heart in right standing with God.
