The Many Names of Jesus : Day #5

Hi, its been a week I have been doing this study and I am loving every minute of it. And the best of part of all is I get to share everything with you'll too.

The post is arranged in this arrangement : 

NAME

Scripture for reference

My thoughts (if any) 

ADVOCATE

Job 16:19 - Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is there on high

1 John 2:1 - My little children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

We are sinners no matter what. We cannot live according to the law. Maybe for a day or two and then we are back to sin. Sometimes we only choose to look at the "big sins" as we term it. In God's dictionary there is no big sin or small sin, sin is just sin. And even in our daily thoughts we sin. We are sinners no matter what.

But the Word of God gives me hope in 1 John 2:1, John says, my little children I write to you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.  It just plainly means that even though I were to sin, I have an advocate, the Righteous One, His name is Jesus. He is in heaven fighting my case for me. In God's eyes, I have sinned, so Jesus there pleads my case.

Just imagine a courtroom (only a heavenly one, more glorious).  The judge presiding is Father God. The Public Prosecutor is satan and the Defense Attorney is Jesus the Righteous One. And of course, me the client, the sinning daughter - to Father God and the saved yet sinning sister to Jesus the Righteous. And not to worry in this series, the defense always wins. :)))) I am smiling and laughing as I write.

It may seem a silly story to you, but it is the truth. And, boy am I glad that " my witness is in heaven; my advocate is there on high (Job 16:19).

I am blessed tremendously by the Word of God and I hope you are too. And take it easy, don't be too hard on yourself, the deceiver will continue putting guilty thoughts in your mind, rebuke it in the name of Jesus and tell him that "MY WITNESS, MY ADVOCATE, MY LAWYER, JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS IS HIGH IN HEAVEN FIGHTING FOR ME" Actually don't even say anything, because your lawyer said not to say a word, He'll do the talking for you.

Stay blessed.
