Children's Bible Stories- The Advocate

The text emphasizes the significant role of representation, particularly in a spiritual context where Jesus acts on behalf of believers. Just as a lawyer defends a client, Jesus mediates between humanity and divine justice, serving not only as an intercessor but also as a Counselor. His sacrifice enables forgiveness, allowing believers to be viewed favorably through Christ. The passage references 1 John 2:1, highlighting Jesus as an advocate for sinners.
