Intercession

Intercession . . . is the suit of the heart unto God for the good of others.
James Ussher

Three things concur [in Christ’s intercession]: 1. The presentation of His Person for us . . . 2. The representation of His death . . . for us . . . 3. A putting up, a requesting and offering unto God of . . . desires . . . for the Church, attended with care, love and compassion.
John Owen
