He is no longer in Bethlehem’s stable. Shortly thereafter, He was whisked away to Egypt to avoid Herod’s murderous act. From there, He came back to the city of Nazareth in Galilee. He went to the river Jordan to receive New Testament Baptist baptism at the hands of John. Then, He was led of the Spirit into the wilderness unto being forty days tempted of the devil. He ministered in Galilee and Jerusalem. He was betrayed, crucified, and placed in the tomb for three days and three nights, after which, the angel announced: “He is not here: for He is risen as He said.” He made appearances unto His own, and after commissioning the church, He ascended to the Father’s right hand, with the standing promise, “He shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.”
Jesus is now at the right hand of God, to make intercession for us–WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TASK!
Unselfishly, Jesus left the glories of heaven to sacrifice Himself for our salvation. Ever since then, He has unselfishly devoted Himself, day and night, for approximately 2000 years, hearing every prayer of all His own, and without fail, as our personal advocate, and properly presented them unto the Father.
Only a Saviour of infinite power, compassion, and patience could keep up with and accomplish a task of such magnitude. Just how many prayers do you suppose Jesus hears and mediates every day, without missing or neglecting any, and yet He admonishes us to pray more than we already are?!?! O what a Saviour! O what a High Priest! O what a friend we have in Jesus!
Jesus is still ever so busy about His Father’s business. He was born for us. He died for us. He arose for us. He lives for us. He is coming again for us–ALL FOR US!! Jesus has put us above Himself. He has made Himself to be our Saviour and servant. He works nonstop for us. He has prepared a place for His own in His heavenly estate.
Are you one of His?
If you have been born again, are you rendering unto Him your reasonable service, by presenting yourself to be a living sacrifice, to prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God?
If not, why not? We will all answer to Him.
