Thank God for Christ’s Intercession

Thanksgiving 4.23 | NASB

For the intercession which He ever lives to make in the virtue of His satisfaction.

I thank You that having bore the sin of many, Christ makes intercession for transgressors, Isaiah 53:12(NASB) and prays, not only for those who were given to Him when He was on earth, but also for all those who believe in Him through their word; that they all may be one. John 17:20-21(NASB)

That I have an Advocate with the Father, even Jesus Christ the righteous, 1 John 2:1(NASB) who is therefore able to save forever all those who draw near to God as a Father, through Him as a Mediator, since He always lives to make intercession for His people. Hebrews 7:25(NASB)

That I have a High Priest taken from among men and appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifice for sin, who can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided; Hebrews 5:1-2(NASB) and that He has become to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation. Hebrews 5:9(NASB)

Thank God for Christ’s Ascension into Heaven

Thanksgiving 4.22 | NASB

For His ascension into heaven, and His sitting at God’s right hand there.

I bless You that my Lord Jesus has ascended to His Father and my Father, to His God and my God; John 20:17(NASB) has ascended on high, having led captive His captives, and has received gifts among men, even among the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there. Psalm 68:18(NASB)

That as the Forerunner He has for me entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for me: Hebrews 9:24(NASB) a Lamb standing, as if slain, in the midst of the throne. Revelation 5:6(NASB)

That He has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, Hebrews 8:1(NASB) angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to Him. 1 Peter 3:22(NASB)

That He has gone before, to prepare a place for me in His Father’s house, where there are many dwelling places; John 14:2-3(NASB) and though where He has gone I cannot follow Him now, yet I hope to follow Him later, John 13:36(NASB) when He will come again to receive me to Himself, that where He is, there I may be also. John 14:3(NASB)

Thank God for Christ’s Resurrection

Thanksgiving 4.21 | NASB

For His resurrection from the dead on the third day.

I thank You that as He was delivered over because of my transgressions, so He was raised because of my justification, Romans 4:25(NASB) and was declared to be the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead. Romans 1:4(NASB)

That though He was dead, yet He is alive and lives forevermore and has the keys of death and of Hades; Revelation 1:18(NASB) and having been raised from the dead, He is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. Romans 6:9(NASB)

That now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep; 1 Corinthians 15:20(NASB) that as in Adam all died, so also in Christ all might be made alive, and each in his own order. 1 Corinthians 15:22-23(NASB)

That God did not allow His Holy One to undergo decay, Acts 2:27(NASB) but put an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power, Acts 2:24(NASB) and so declared to all the house of Israel that this Jesus whom they crucified is both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36(NASB)

And that to this end Christ both died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living, Romans 14:9(NASB) and that whether I am awake or asleep, I might live together with Him.
