What is an advocate? Easton’s Bible dictionary defines it as “one who pleads another’s cause, who helps another by defending or comforting him.” I was in need of an advocate when I was involved in a traffic accident that was not my fault. Due to the circumstances, I was charged with the offense. The police officer who came to make the report was very kind, and he apologized for having to give me a ticket. He then told me not to worry, and that he would go to court to defend me before the judge. Thankfully, he did just that, and the charges were dismissed. He had become my advocate before the judge. That’s exactly what Jesus does for us. He pleads our case before the Father with His own blood, resulting in all the charges against us being dropped. “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 NLT). We are forgiven, as our advocate is always defending us. Praise God!
