The source touches on Jesus as Advocate mainly through His first words from the stake, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Though in agony and rejected by those He came to serve, Jesus looked beyond His own pain and prayed for those responsible for His death, a prayer that by extension includes every sinner. He carried no resentment, addressed God as Father, and was confident He would be heard, since the Father always heard Him. The source says plainly that He was "already an advocate for humans," showing His love and commitment to serve all who through ignorance have gone the way of sin and death. The advocacy rests on the fact that He became fully flesh, was tempted in all points as we are (Hebrews 4:15), and bore the sins of the world, even experiencing separation from the Father. Having gone through what humans go through, He could intercede to the Father on mankind's behalf with far more meaning, commitment, and feeling. His death paid the penalty for all sin, so that those who repent and surrender to Him as Lord and Savior can have access to God and eternal life.

Jesus Christ stands as the ultimate Advocate and Intercessor for humanity, representing us before God the Father with unwavering dedication. As our perpetual High Priest, He extends aid to those who approach God through Him, ensuring that our prayers and praises are acceptable through His intercession. He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities, serving as a merciful and faithful High Priest, the perfect mediator between God and mankind. Through Him, we may come before God plainly and honestly, with appropriate reverence, without fear of shame or punishment, as God the Father, with Jesus at His right hand, graciously dispenses help from heaven to those in need of forgiveness and strength in temptation. Christ's intercession is righteous, founded upon justice, truth, and compassion, and it is perpetual and effective. God the Father honors Jesus Christ for His faithful work, presenting His victory over spiritual enemies as a triumph that strengthens those who rely on Him. As the perfect Intercessor for sinners, He was numbered with the transgressors, bearing our penalty despite His innocence, and continues His intercessory ministry even after being vindicated by God, always concerned to minister to His people. His advocacy with the Father for His church is based on His perfect sacrifice, pleading for and obtaining the fulfillment of all the promises of the everlasting covenant. In His priestly office, Christ's intercession fulfills the mediation seen in the Old Testament priesthood, where He represents humanity, offers Himself as sacrifice, and secures divine acceptance. His victory over death is given to us through God's acceptance of His representative substitution, continuing in the heavenly realm as described in the epistle to the Hebrews. As Advocate, He undertakes our cause, assisting us in overcoming enemies and striving for a holy life, securing the grace and strength we need. His intercession in heaven, though not fully revealed in method, is understood as presenting the merits of His great sacrifice as the basis for obtaining grace for us. Christ's intercessory prayers, especially as recorded in John 17, set the highest example for this form of prayer, interceding for His disciples and all believers with profound unity and love. His prayer reflects an intimate relationship with the Father, a fulfillment of duty, a recognition of divine connection, a desire for salvation from the world's evil, and a broad application emphasizing unity with God and the indwelling of divine love. He prays for His followers to remain in the world as a positive influence, guarded from evil, and united in purpose as a witness to the world. His concern for unity among His people underscores the importance of intercessory prayer as a model for all believers to follow. As our Intercessor, Christ continually intercedes for us in God's presence, helping in our weaknesses and conveying our requests even when we struggle to express them. He keeps on interceding with groans that words cannot express, ensuring that our needs are met according to God's will. His ongoing concern and representation provide comfort and assurance, demonstrating His unceasing love and commitment to our salvation. Jesus Christ, our High Priest and Advocate, sets an example of self-sacrificing intercession that we are called to emulate with a loving attitude worthy of being part of the Family of God.

When we sin and feel separated from God, unable to restore fellowship on our own, we are not left without hope. We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, who takes up our cause in the presence of God. As our Advocate, He represents us face to face with the Father, always there in absolute intimacy, not needing permission to plead on our behalf. He is not pleading before an unwilling God, but rather, as the Father sent Him out of love, He undertakes our cause with the authority and sympathy of One who understands our weaknesses, having experienced human frailty Himself. Jesus Christ, as our Advocate, intercedes for us continually, presenting the merits of His sacrifice as the reason we should be forgiven. He stands before God, ensuring that justice and righteousness are upheld, declaring that it is right for God to forgive us because He has taken on our sins and suffered their punishment. His role as Advocate is not passive; He actively lives to make intercession, securing grace and strength for us against our enemies and guaranteeing our salvation through His eternal priesthood. Moreover, Jesus Christ is the propitiation for our sins, embodying the sacrifice that restores and maintains our fellowship with God. He is both the High Priest and the Offering, sufficient to cover the sins of the whole world, ensuring that no sin is beyond His ability to reconcile. When our adversary seeks to drive us to despair over our failures, we can find comfort in knowing that we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, who represents us with perfect understanding and unyielding love, ensuring that our fellowship with God can be restored through Him alone.

When Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection and said, "Peace be with you," His words carried far greater weight than a simple greeting. This pronouncement directly resumed the Passover conversation recorded in John 14, where Christ promised that after He departed, the Father would send the Helper, the Holy Spirit, in His name. In John 20, the resurrected Christ declared that the Father had sent Him, identifying Himself as that Helper and Advocate, though not yet in spirit form. He then breathed on the disciples, instructing them to receive the Holy Spirit, one of whose fruits is peace. This connection reveals that Christ's role as Advocate is inseparable from His gift of peace: He assured His followers that even though He would no longer be with them in physical form, they would not be left as orphans or helpless, for He would come to them through the Spirit and continue to intercede on their behalf. This Advocacy is rooted in the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy. Isaiah 53:5 foretold that the chastisement bringing peace would fall upon the Messiah, and when Jesus showed the disciples the wounds in His hands, feet, and side, He was presenting the very evidence of that prophesied suffering which secured peace with God. Because His sacrifice satisfied the debt for sin, God's controversy with His people ended, and Christ became their Advocate and High Priest, continually making intercession for them with the Father. This was not merely a momentary reassurance but an ongoing reality: as their Advocate, Christ sustains the peace He has secured, enabling believers to walk in it throughout their lives. This Advocacy also explains the transformation described in Ephesians 2, where Christ is said to be "our peace," having broken down the wall of separation between Jew and Gentile and reconciled both to God through the cross. As Advocate and High Priest, He not only secures peace between God and those He calls but also makes possible peace among believers themselves, regardless of former divisions. His intercessory role ensures that the reconciliation accomplished at the cross continues to operate in the ongoing life of His people. Ultimately, Christ's identity as Advocate underscores that peace is not merely the absence of anxiety but a divine, sustained relationship maintained through His continual intercession. His few spoken words at His resurrection were not idle but carried the authority of the One who created all things and whose words accomplish their purpose. As Advocate, He ensures that the peace He proclaimed is not a one-time event but a continuing gift, dependent on believers maintaining their connection to Him as the Vine, through whom His sustaining intercession flows.
