Jesus is praying for you and me. He is the bridge between the Father’s heavenly resources and our earthly lives. Let me be clear. The Father does not require more convincing to embrace us as his own, and the Son doesn’t care for us more deeply than the Father does. This is reflective of the triune mystery of a three-in-one, communal God. It is the Son’s great passion to see his atoning work become our current experience and the Father’s deep joy to say an unhesitating yes to the Son’s intercession.
