Jesus our Intermediary with God



These scriptures set out the fact that Jesus came to earth as a human being to be tested
and tempted by sin and to experience what we as human beings go through on a daily
basis.  Being the son of God, his will power to resist the sins of the world set the perfect
example of what we should, also, always strive to do.  Although we are all imperfect, it is
reassuring to know that Jesus is our intermediary with God to argue our case if we truly
believe in him, pray for his forgiveness, and strive to lead a Christian life.  His forgiveness
of our sins is hard for anyone of us to imagine.  His grace and mercy are boundless.
Because Jesus died for us, we have the comfort of knowing that if we believe in him, one
day we will be with him in heaven, no matter how imperfect we are.

Prayer:  Dear Lord, Thank you for your Son, Jesus.  Without his Christian example
while on earth, we would be lost in a world of sin.  We pray that each of us will strive to
follow his example and lead a Christian life.  We know we are imperfect and commit sin
after sin in our daily lives.  We ask for your forgiveness, your mercy and your grace.  In
your Father’s name we pray.  Amen.
