BIG IDEA: Christ our Intercessor turns our prayers into rising incense before the Lord.
ALTAR OF INCENSE—SYMBOL OF PRAYER AND INTERCESSION
- Prayer draws us near to God’s presence and should follow His holy pattern.
- If we pray in our own way, as with unauthorized fire, God will not accept it.
JESUS AS OUR INTERCESSOR
- Because Jesus lives forever, He can completely save all who approach God through Him.
- He continually intercedes for us, ensuring the Father accepts us.
INTERCESSORS FOR OTHERS
- We are called to pray for all people, especially those in positions of authority.
- Believers' prayers rise like incense and join Christ’s prayers for us.
