Bible Question (short): Who is the intercessor? |
Question (full): If Jesus' time to act had not yet come, why did He? How did Mary's request move Him? How can we apply this to our petitions as well? I hope I don't open a can of worms, but who is the real intercessor here? It seems to me that Jesus, intercedes on behalf of His mother's request, asking the Father's permission to act. What troubles me is the notion some folks have that Mary moves the Hand of Jesus, and that she continues to intercede on their behalf. Yet, Hebrews 7:25 declares that JESUS is the only intercessor.
