“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34)
The Bible tells us plainly that Jesus ascended into heaven forty days after His crucifixion. He is not spending His days and nights floating around on a celestial cloud. He, who created the universe, is sustaining it. He has the whole world in His hands.
He is also our High Priest making intercession for us at the right hand of God the Father. He is helping us when we pray. He is our defense attorney. We are told that, “…if any man sinew have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (I John 1:2)
Rather than pretend we have not sinned sometime following becoming a Christian, the Christ who knows us better than we know ourselves, pleads our case before God the Father.
When we are having problems He is along beside us encouraging us, comforting us and being our friend. The resurrection did not end His ministry.
