Much to our great concern, Bonita and I ran across a
grades note the one day from one of our children’s teachers. Reviewing the list
of apparent "F's" got us rather stirred up to say the least. We
decided it was time to go to the teacher and figure out what was going on.
Without doing that we could only see grounding the kid from sports and other extracurricular
activities (possibly for life!). Fortunately he had an advocate.
The advocate ended up being the teacher. Seems there was a little misunderstanding as to the meaning of the grades. When the situation was known and the grades properly interpreted we found him to be in much more acceptable shape academically. Without his teacher stepping in as his "lawyer", everyone would have been very upset.
In part, 1 John 2:1+2 reads, "And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins."
We would not be able to maintain the relationship we have with the Father if the Son didn't lovingly step in as our Lawyer. In a sense, Jesus stands before the Father representing us and saying something like, "yes, he has sinned, but here is the document written in My Blood that shows that sin has been forgiven!"
Have you thanked God recently that He lovingly appointed an attorney for you in Jesus Christ? You are represented well!
