Hebrews 7:25,\u00a0\u201cTherefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Definition<\/strong>: \u201cintercession<\/strong>\u201d \u00a0the action of intervening on behalf of another.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent question. The questioner shows a true desire to harmonize the scriptures<\/strong>. Why would God (Jesus) have to speak to God (Jehovah) on our behalf?<\/p>\n

The confusion begins with the incorrect belief that Jesus is also God.<\/p>\n

The Apostles never thought that Jesus was God, but understood that Jesus was the Son of God. The concept of Jesus being God was a doctrine debated for many years. In 325 AD, the Roman emperor Constantine convened a council of church bishops at Nicaea (in modern-day western Turkey). The bishops were to resolve the conflict over whether Jesus was a created being or the same as God.<\/strong> In a compromise, these bishops decided God and Jesus were a duality. They coined a Greek word, \u201chomo (same) – ousias (is-ness)\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This new word could be interpreted both ways<\/strong> and satisfied both sides. Those who believed Jesus was created, still recognized Jesus as the \u201conly begotten Son\u201d (John 3:16) and as \u201cthe beginning of the creation<\/strong> of God\u201d (Revelation 3:14). Additionally, they could recognize that Jesus was resurrected with God\u2019s divine <\/strong>(2 Peter 1:4), spirit nature (the same \u201cis\u201dness).The other sided said the word, homousias<\/em>, meant Jesus and God were the same being. So it was about three hundred years after the death of Jesus when the doctrine of the God-hood of Jesus began.<\/p>\n

By correctly believing (as the Apostles did) that Jesus was the Son of God, then Hebrews 7:25 beautifully shows that Jesus (the Son of God, our Redeemer) as our Advocate (1 John 2:1) pleads with God for us, using mercy, tolerance, and patience. He makes intercession to God for the sake of the Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is<\/em> he who condemns? It is<\/em> Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.\u201d Romans 8:34.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
