This is amazing! Sitting as Lord but also standing as a sympathetic high priest with us! One thing I’ve been marking in Bible for some time is the word “arose.” Usually, it was in defense of God’s people. I’ve been wondering why I’ve been so drawn to that word. But this article helped me make the connection! I have been challenged recently to demonstrate Jesus’ mercy toward others by standing in defense for their lives on the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice for the whole world, especially sinners who are desperately needing to experience God’s grace. I just pray that His mercy will be believed and received.
That is fantastic! What an excellent example of following in the footsteps of Jesus and seeking to live like him right how. Thanks for sharing this encouraging application to your own life.
