Lawyer in Heaven!

Listen to this blog.

But Jesus will never die, and so he will be a priest forever!   He is forever able to save the people he leads to God, because he always lives to speak to God for them.

Hebrews 7:24-25

The best way to get a good job is to have someone you know well recommend you for a position.  With the recommendation comes a character assessment that you cannot provide with a simple resume.  When a trusted and qualified person speaks on your behalf the steps to a new job are often easy.

Jesus speaks to God for you.  Years ago Gary S. Paxton wrote a song entitled, “Jesus is My Lawyer in Heaven.” Jesus is your defense attorney and he has never lost a case.  When Jesus pleads for your acquittal the evidence He presents is indisputable.  No other lawyer has ever admitted that his client is guilty, but tells the court that the price for the crime has already been paid!  I can imagine Jesus holding up His hands and showing God the scars. 

Are you still trying to claim that you are innocent before God?  You are not.  The Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.  Are you still trying to be good enough to go to Heaven?  Sorry about that one too!  You are like “Humpty Dumpty” who fell off of the wall and you cannot put yourself back together again.  Only God can do that because of the Cross of Christ.

Remember Jesus loves you and wants you to be with Him forever.  Jesus wants you to victoriously finish this life here on earth.  No matter how “messed up” your life is right now, Jesus wants to be your lawyer before the throne of God and an eternally glorious outcome is guaranteed!
