1 John 2:1 – “But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
What words of tenderness, what sentences of persuasion will the anointed use when He stands up to plead for me! He can plead in such a way as to move the heart of God and prevail. One more aspect of His name remains: “Jesus Christ the righteous.”
This is not only His character but His plea. It is His character, and if the Righteous One is my advocate, then my cause is good or He would not have represented it. It is His plea, for He meets the charge of unrighteousness against me by the plea that He is righteous.
He declares Himself my substitute and puts His obedience to my account. My soul, you have a friend perfectly fitted to be your advocate—He cannot but succeed; leave yourself entirely in His hands.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
