What is Jesus interceding for us
from the right hand of
God at this moment?
What is Jesus interceding for us,
who believe in Jesus, from the right hand of
God?
(Rom. 8:34).
In my opinion, right now Jesus is praying for
the completion of our salvation.
The reason I think so is because we have already
received salvation (Jn. 19:30),
but 'not yet' received it (Rev. 21:6).
In other words, Jesus has ‘already’ come (First
Advent) and saved us,
but He has not yet come (Second Coming).
Therefore, I believe that Jesus, who is at the
right hand of God,
is interceding for the completion of our
salvation that we have already received.
To put it more specifically, I think Jesus is
praying for us to be glorified (Rom. 8:30).
The reason I think so is that although God has
already glorified us,
we have not yet been fully glorified.
In other words, I believe that Jesus, who is at
the right hand of God,
is interceding for us to be presented as a holy
and blameless glorious church before God,
without spot or wrinkle (Eph. 5:27).
Furthermore, I think that Jesus, who is at the
right hand of God,
is interceding for us (the church) to be united
(Jn. 17:11, 21, 22).
In other words, I believe that Jesus is interceding
for us
to become one, just as the Triune God is one.
Although the Holy Spirit has already made us one
(Eph. 4:3),
we have not yet become fully one.
We will become fully one when Jesus returns.
Until then, Jesus, who is at the right hand of
God, will intercede for our unity.
