Our Ransom is Our Intercessor
“Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”
1 Timothy 2: 6.
Since Christ is an Intercessor, . . . believers should not rest at the cross for comfort [or] justification they should look for there. But, being justified by his blood, they should ascend up after him to the throne. At the cross you will see him in his sorrows and humiliations, in his tears and blood. But follow him to where he is now and then you shall see him in his robes, in his priestly robes, and with his golden girdle about his paps [chest]. Then you shall see him wearing the breastplate of judgment and with all your names written upon his heart. Then you shall perceive that the whole family in heaven and earth is named by him and how he prevailed with God the Father of mercies—for you.
What gifts these are the Scripture everywhere testifies. He gave himself; he gave his life, he gave his all for us. (John 6, Galatians 1: 4, 1 Timothy 2: 6, Matthew 20: 28) These gifts, as he offered them up at the demand of justice on Mount Calvary for us, so now he is in heaven he presents them continually before God as gifts and sacrifice valuable for the sins. For all the sins that we, through infirmity, do commit, from the day of our conversion to the day of our death. And these gifts are so satisfactory, so prevalent with God, that they always prevail for a continual remission of our sins with him. Yea, they prevail with him for more than for the remission of sins. We have, through their procurement, our graces often renewed, the devil often rebuked, the snare often broken, guilt often taken away from the conscience and many a blessed smile from God and love-look from his life-creating countenance. (Ephesians 3: 12)
