Everything that Jesus told His apostles about God the Father were truths from God the Father. Jesus taught about God’s character to help lead them into their own personal relationship with God. Jesus interceded for God to the disciples; Jesus continues to intercede today for His followers to God. I find that so precious. The evil one tries to discourage and destroy us, pointing out our failures and weakness. But those accusations never reach God’s ears because Jesus paid the believers’ sin debt in full. Not to sound irreverent, but Jesus didn’t go to heaven from earth to lounge around. He is our Advocate, our Defender, the Mediator between God and man. Because of Jesus, we can stand blameless before God the Father.
