Great To Have An Advocate

In this life we run into legal challenges at times. Even making a will so that loved ones do not have to worry can cause more of the very problems we attempted to avoid if we do not seek legal counsel. The law of the land is an enormous beast, filled with a complexity we cannot hope to understand on our own. Yet, there is help in human advocates in this area. And isn't it great to have an advocate when these legal troubles come to your doorstep?

Look at the law in the Bible now; see how close you are to keeping all of God's law, every jot and tittle. Make sure that in this life you have every base covered regarding the Law of Moses, loving your neighbor as yourself, and above all loving God with all of your heart, mind and strength. Never fallen down once with the least of these thoughts? You're in good shape! Ah, yes, I think I saw a doubt there little one, perhaps a rampaging herd of doubts on the stampede each labeled with a 'remember that time when you...' John has an answer for those of us with those rampaging, stampeding doubts over our fitness to enter His kingdom:

"My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (1 John 2:1)

Isn't it great to have an Advocate in Christ Jesus!
