Christ’s Intercession for His Own

Jesus prayed before He left this world, "I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever." (John 14:16) Now upon what ground did the Comforter come down? When Jesus was glorified, when the Victor had gone right up again to glory and the heavens had received Him then down came the blessed Spirit to attest the glorious reality of the accomplished and finished work on Calvary's cross. And so, if the Holy Spirit convinces you of sin, of your need of Christ, of His blood and His righteousness, of your need of Him as your Burden-bearer, your Kind Guide and Deliverer, He then draws you, in your helplessness and feebleness, to the throne of Grace even if you are not able to articulate one sound. If you are brought there in your helplessness and faintness, if so, there may be hope concerning such a wretch as you, you cannot fail while Jesus Christ lives in Heaven.
