Intercessor
Sometimes a simple reminder of who the Messiah truly is in our lives can bring peace in a tumultuous world. Here is what Dr. Fruchtenbaum wrote in the third volume of our Come and See series:
“That Yeshua is our intercessor is brought out in Romans 8:34: ‘Who is he that condemns? It is Messiah Yeshua that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.’ Hebrews 7:25 says, ‘Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.’
Functioning as our intercessor is part of Yeshua’s high priestly ministry in that He intercedes on behalf of the believer before God. The picture is that as mediator, He represents God to man, and as intercessor, He represents man to God.”

Comforting, isn't it, to know that the Messiah who died, rose again, and is seated at the right hand of God is also the One who intercedes for us?
