23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:23-25 NIV
This is a part of a passage that refers to Jesus as a high priest greater than Melchizedek in that he offered himself up once and for all and doesn't need to do it again year after year. Hebrews 2:18 adds that because Jesus became like us, except without sin, he was tempted in all things and is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
Do you think this intercession that Jesus does is a daily and ongoing thing or would you interpret this to have to do simply with salvation?
What does it mean to you that Jesus intercedes for us?
I find this an interesting example of the Trinity as Jesus is interceding to the Father for us. And the Holy Spirit also helps us to pray as we should Romans 8:26
