Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Heb. 7:25. 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. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Jesus, oh the Beloved Lamb of God, who is the High Priest, lives forever at the right hand of God and intercedes with the Father for us.  However many be our sins, He the Son of God looks on us with love and asks the Father to forgive saying, 'Father forgive, for they know not what they do.' 

Not only is Jesus our Beloved Redeemer, He is also our Mediator with God 1 Tim. 2:5 and whatever we may want or desire, we but need to go to Him and ask.  And when we go to Him with faith in our hearts, however small it be, humbling ourselves before Him for our 'little faith' saying, 'Lord help my unbelief' then He our Mediator will press the Father to grant us that which we desire in our hearts and He will say to us, 'According to your faith be it unto you' Mt. 9:29. 

We have this assurance that He will also grant us redemption when we believe in His Name for His Word says, 'God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.'  It is for our sake that Jesus gave Himself up to the Father as a Lamb – blemishless and holy – a pleasing aroma to the Father, whereby all dominion is given unto the Son, even that of granting eternal life to all who call upon His Name.  Whereby, we have no hesitation when we approach the throne of Grace for we're confident in this that He is able to save us to the uttermost, we who come nigh to God and we're also sure that He, our blessed Bridegroom always stands, making intercession for us as He loves us and will never send us to the fires of eternal damnation. So in this, we have confidence in Him also to ask Him for whatever we need or desire for He who is pleased in us, shall also grant us what we ask of Him for He joys in us too.
