Hebrews 7:25
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
One of my favorite TV shows is Perry Mason. No, I am not old enough to have seen its original run, but I have watched it every other way I can. Like many others, my favorite part is where Hamilton Burger, the prosecutor, thinks he has everything tied up neatly and nicely and then Perry gets that look in his eye. He looks over at Della, his secretary, or Paul Drake, his investigator, and quietly asks them a question. Then you see that famous little grin on his face. You know, and so does Burger, that Perry has the answer. He wins the case! The guilty party is found out and all is right with the world again, at least until the next episode.
I often picture today’s verse playing out much like this courtroom drama. Satan is giving his best argument against me. He thinks he has all my sins tied up in a neat little bow. I sit there sweating it out while the evidence piles up before the judge, God. I just know this is not going to end well. Then I look over and there sets my defense. Jesus has taken my case and He has that look in His eye. He asks me one simple question. “Do you believe in me and my sacrifice I made for all sins on the cross?” I reply with a simple yes. Then there it is, that smile! He looks at God and simply raises His scarred hands and it is done. The trial is over. Satan has lost once
again!
Lord, thank You for taking and pleading my case. ~amen
