There is someone in heaven
to stand up for me and take my side.
HEBREWS 4:14 (GNT)
Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of God.
THE ESSENCE
The risen and ascended Christ Jesus continues to represent us and our needs in the courts of Heaven. So, we can expect full justice.
DAILY FODDER
The work of the fully human (and fully God) Christ Jesus did not end when he left Earth and ascended to the heavenly headquarters.
PRAYER
Thank you, Jesus, for representing us in Heaven. Forgive us for growing frustrated with the ongoing injustices we experience, acting offended as if we've been abandoned. Reassure me of your ongoing work on our behalf. I trust that you have secured our salvation and will continue to redeem the world in preparation for the day when Heaven and Earth merge, and your justice is complete. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
