Jesus ~ our Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous

1 Timothy 2

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all

After Jesus died, The First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. argued how divine was Jesus. Saying Jesus was not divine. This is, of course, reprehensible. Jesus is perfectly described in the Bible and we understand how Jesus was before Abraham. Jesus records He was there and laughed at the joy of creation in Proverbs.

Father God, ours through the free gift of Jesus, for those who believe in in Jesus as the Son of God, know God wanted something from choosing to walk among us as Life, Light, Grace, He created all things.

God wanted to know what we feel like as we journey through life. Jesus cried out from the Cross, not to be forsaken. Jesus was dying, according to doctors of the profound shock at abandonment of His brothers, His disciples, and His favor. Jesus came to Save Mankind. And as mercy goes He did not suffocate on the Cross but died of a broken heart - much faster than the usual suffocation of crucifixion.

Jesus knew there were times when God's Spirit was with Him and in that power - He amazingly "healed them all."

With the certainty of knowing He could call down Angel's Holy Armies to Save Him - Jesus willingly opened his arms on the Cross to save us. This is divine faith. Jesus us showed us with complete certainty He is a man and God of emotion and moods that tell us of His personality.


John 15:9-11
Jesus said, "If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."

Matthew 14:14
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

Mark 10:21
Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Jesus didn't try to be less than human
by shielding Himself from grief and pain. He allowed Himself to suffer these normal human emotions.

With this human life of joy, love, praise, healing, compassion ~
Jesus felt pain, sorrow, suffering, fear, doubt and died by being literally broken hearted; Mayo clinic doctors put up a website analyzing all of Jesus physical manifestations of His Sacrifice.
Jesus knew what it was to doubt His Sacrifice and be apart from His Father. Jesus knew about our doubts - He lived and died them in bravery.

Jesus knows Life and Our Lives.

John tells us when Jesus saw Mary weeping over Lazarus' death, "He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled." As Mary and Martha were taking Jesus to the body of Lazarus, "Jesus wept." He didn't try, as we all do in times of sorrow, to be outwardly "strong" and hide or deny His feelings. His strength showed through His tears. He had the strength to care enough to weep.

Jesus also wept over Jerusalem as He longed to gather us as chicks under His wings and set things right.

Jesus lived the Scripture words -  "Be Angry" and, being God, He did not sin.

John 2:15-16
"So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves He said, 'Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!" 



Jesus even comforted the Disciples regarding His death - knowing - they would desert Him.

John 16:32-33
As Jesus prepared to leave His disciples in death He told them, "But a time is coming and has come, when you will be scattered, each to His own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Jesus had emotions in healing. A drive to heal.




Jesus is filled with love and compassion  for those who earnestly seek Him.

Mark 7 
Immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.” 29 And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” 30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree and certainly knew when you earnestly seek Jesus - you have found His Love and Salvation.

 


Jesus has the Power of God.

Luke 6
19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

Luke 5
17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

Jesus had grave worries in the Garden of Gethsemane. He asked for comfort of companionship and was failed then as well. Jesus knew loneliness.

Jesus told us to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice.

God was living our life and He learned of bleak in, "There was no room for them in the Inn."
How God must have hurt to see as His Child would be born in a barn.


We do not live with peace all the time on this earth. When we have that - that is a gift. When we can obtain not to worry - that is a treasured Gift.

Elijah despaired life seemed bleak - God did not go huffy about that.
Moses turned God down. 
Peter could not walk on water in front of Victorious Jesus. Stunning.

God says if you can obtain the lack of worry, this is as excellent as Jesus in the boat. And He honors that with this calm being a fruit of the Spirit.

How is super calm going to weep with those who weep and rejoice with rejoicers?

Jesus wept
Jesus worried on the cross as He died of heart failure.  Jesus wanted to know our lives fully.

God hid Himself some from Jesus. Jesus' words tell us this. Jesus told God this is being mortal. He walked our shoes.
God Loves us.

JESUS is Indeed OUR MEDIATOR. Jesus volunteered and walked this life - fully.

This is the JOY.
God does not sit and scold many times in the Bible but He spoke honestly. Who groveled before God? Hannah and she was thought  to be drunk.

Thank You Father God, for Your tremendous sacrifice in Jesus. You have written Your Word that we see Jesus as fully like us - human. Until Jesus suddenly displays Himself to Be Your Son throughout the Bible. Amen.

Jeremiah 33:8

I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.

1 John 2:1

1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

1 Timothy 2

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all
