"Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death; and He was
numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many and
made intercession for the transgressors."
(Isaiah 53:12)
"Who is He who condemns? It is Christ who died and rose again,
and He is at the right hand of God making intercession for us."
(Romans 8:34)
"My little children, believers, dear ones, I am writing you these things so that you
will not sin and violate God's law. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate, who will
intercede for us with the Father: Jesus Christ the Righteous, the Upright, the Just One,
who conforms to the Father's will in every way-purpose, thought, and action.
(1 John 2:1)
"We have an Advocate with the Father; One who has undertaken, and is fully able,
to plead in behalf of every one who applies for pardon and salvation in His Name,
depending on His pleading for them.
He is Jesus, the Savior, and Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed.
He alone is the Righteous One, who received His nature pure from sin, and as
our Surety perfectly obeyed the law of God, and so fulfilled all righteousness.
All men, in every land, and through successive generations, are invited to come to God
through this all-sufficient atonement, and by this new and living way.
The gospel, when rightly understood and received, sets the heart against all sin,
and stops the allowed practice of it; at the same time it gives blessed relief
to the wounded consciences of those who have sinned."
-Matthew Henry's Commentary
