ROM. 8.34. Who also maketh Intercession for us.
When Aaron entered into the Holy Place, his Bells gave a Sound; so Christ having entered into Heaven, his Intercession makes a melodious sound in the Ears of God. Christ, though he be exalted to Glory, hath not laid aside his Bowels of Compassion, but is still mindful of his Body Mystical; as Joseph was mindful of his Father and Brethren, when he was exalted to the Court. Who also maketh Intercession for us. —To Intercede is to make Request in the behalf of another. Christ is the great Master of Requests in Heaven; Christus est Catholicus Patris Sacerdos, Tertul.
WHen Aaron entred into the Holy Place, his Bells gave a Sound; so Christ having entred into Heaven, his Intercession makes a melodious sound in the Ears of God. Christ, though he be exalted to Glory, hath not laid aside his Bowels of Compassion, but is still mindful of his Body Mystical; as Ioseph was mindful of his Father and Brethren, when he was exalted to the Court. Who also maketh Intercession for us. —To Intercede is to make Request in the behalf of another. Christ is the great Master of Requests in Heaven; Christus est Catholicus Patris Sacerdos, Tertul.
