Moses and Paul

Interceding for, and even standing in for the obviously guilty, is the essence of the cross. Both Moses and Paul stood and pleaded for their guilty countrymen. Where is that spirit in today’s church?

It has been swallowed up in nationalism. Those that have been given grace demand law from others. That is not what being a follower of Jesus is all about. To be more concerned with dishing out justice than the redemption to sinners is to be aligned with the Accuser and at odds with the Intercessor.
