A devotional reflection on Jesus as the Advocate who defends His people.

Topical

Christ our Advocate defends and upholds His people. Scripture teaches that Christ stands for His people, silencing every accusation through His righteousness.

We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (1 John 2:1)

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? (Romans 8:33)

If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

Christian Application

Christ our Advocate encourages believers that they are secure in His defense and covered by His righteousness. Trust Christ’s advocacy and rest in His righteousness.

Sample Prayer

Lord, thank You for being my Advocate. Help me rest in Your finished work. Amen.
