Christ is our advocate with the Father. An advocate is one who pleads on someone else's behalf. Originally it meant to call to one's aid. He also intercedes for us with the Father. To intercede is to intervene on behalf of another. It means literally to go between. Christ stands between us imperfect, sinful children and the perfect, sinless Father who cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance. Christ vouches for us and testifies that he has paid our debt and removed our sins.
