Janet will get some thoughts from Dr. Jim Showers, president and executive director of Friends of Israel. That and more – join us! 1-800-343-9282.
Beddome on what Jesus is doing now
Spotted this quotation (to late for my book) from Benjamin Beddome the other day.
It is from his sermon Christ
the subject of prayer on Psalm 72:15 in Sermons,
with a brief memoir of the author which is available online.
Christ is our advocate with the Father. His presenting his spotless sacrifice before the throne, is a powerful intercession. He also presents the prayers and supplications of the saints, without which, instead of being received with complacency, they must be rejected with abhorrence. But besides this, is there not a vocal intercession? The Scripture leads me to think that there is. Christ was that angel who pleaded for Judah and Jerusalem. "In the days of his flesh he prayed for Peter, that his faith might not fail" and he assured him, and the rest of the disciples, that he would perform the same office for them in heaven: "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter." And as Job evidently speaks of Christ as a Redeemer in one place, so it is not at all improbable that he refers to him as an advocate in another: "O that one" says he, "might plead for a man with God as a man pleadeth for his neighbour." "It is," says Dr Owen, "no ways unbecoming the human nature of Christ, in its glorious exaltation, to pray to God; for this seems to be one condition of the advancement of his interest as mediator." "Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession." I have made the two last remarks chiefly because some translate the words of my text,—"Prayer shall be made by him, or through him, continually."

New Book
I signed a contract with EP last week for a new book that is due out soon. It is in the What the Bible says about series and is to be called What the Bible says about what Jesus is doing now.
It has proved quite dificult to put together but I think that we have something worthwhile at last and I hope it will be a great help to many in due time.
