What a mine of daily comfort
  

  “Looking unto Jesus.” Hebrews 12:2

  If we would look rightly to Jesus we must look daily to His
life of intercession in heaven, as our principal provision of strength
and help.

We surely feel that we need Almighty help every
day we live. Even when started in the narrow
way of life, with pardon, grace, and a new heart we soon find that,
left to ourselves, we would never get safely to our heavenly home.
Every returning morning brings with it so much to be done and born
and suffered that we are often tempted to despair. So weak
and treacherous are our hearts, so busy the devil, so
persecuting and ensnaring the world; and such poor, weak
creatures are we that we need Almighty help!
What are we to do? Where are we to look?

The great Scriptural remedy for all who feel such helplessness as I
have faintly described, is to look upward to Christ in heaven, and to
keep steadily before our eyes, His intercession at the right hand of
God. We must learn to look UPWARD, away from ourselves and our
weakness and upward to Christ in heaven. We must try to realize daily
that Jesus not only died for us and rose again, but that He also lives
as our Advocate and Intercessor in heaven for us.

This, surely, was the mind of Paul, when he said, “He is able also to
save to the uttermost, those who come unto God by Him seeing He ever
lives to make intercession for them.” (Heb. 7:25).

Now I venture boldly to express a doubt whether modern Christians “look
to Jesus” in this point of view and make as much as they ought of His
life of intercession. It is too often a dropped link in our present-day
Christianity. We are apt to think only of the atoning DEATH and the
precious blood, and to forget the LIFE and priestly office of our great
Redeemer! It ought not to be so. We miss much by this forgetfulness of
the whole truth as it is in Jesus.

What a mine of daily comfort there
is in the thought that we have an Advocate with the Father, who never
slumbers or sleeps, whose eye is always upon us, who is continually
pleading our cause and obtaining fresh supplies of grace for us, who
watches over us in every company and place; and never forgets us,
though we, in going to and fro, and doing our daily business, cannot
always think of Him.

We have a great High Priest in heaven, who can be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities, and who bids us pour out our hearts before
Him, and come to Him for grace to help in time of need
