Intercession

Summary

The sermon on intercession emphasizes the doctrine of Christ's sacrifice and ongoing intercession as essential to God's purpose and glory. It explains that Jesus, as the eternal high priest, pleads on behalf of believers not by continual pleading but by his finished work and perpetual presence at God's right hand. The preacher highlights the impossibility of sinful man approaching God without Christ's mediation and stresses that Christ's intercession is a legal and spiritual advocacy based on his sacrifice. The ultimate aim of God's plan is His own glory, manifested through Christ's obedience, sacrifice, resurrection, and intercession for the elect.
