*CLIENTS OF THE GREAT ADVOCATE*
*1 John 2 : 1*
*My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.*
No sooner does the child of God enter the mercy seat than He becomes the client of the great Advocate. Here is the greatest truths--that Jesus is our advocate in the heavenly courts, that we are His clients. Though we may know little about the legal aspects of the plan of salvation, no merits to offer, we have have an Advocate who knows. One skilled in defence, One who offers His own merits on our behalf.
As Satan points to our failures, we may be tempted to despair. We may feel that our case is hopeless, that the stains of sin are too deep to be washed away. Then this is the time to look heavenward with confidence, knowing that our great Advocate is able to answer all of Satan's charges, and clear our record.
When we come to Him confessing our unworthiness and sin, He pledged to give heed to our cry. *"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:16)
Have a great Monday😊
