Sharing a thought from Fireseeds of Spiritual Awakening  by Dan Hayes:

"What is Jesus doing today? Hebrews 7:25 tells us, "He is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to interceded for them." Jesus Christ  is continually interceding for us in heaven today. He has not stopped... We are always on His mind, and He is always presenting us before the Father.
S.D. Gordon comments, "The Lord Jesus is still praying. Thirty years of living; thirty years of serving; one tremendous act of dying; nineteen hundred [make that two thousand] years of prayer" (104).
He has always been interceding  for us. I am reminded of  and humbled by the passage in John 17 where Jesus spends the last moments before His arrest praying for us and our ministries. If the prayers of a righteous man are effective, how much greater are the prayers of God Himself? How can we fail and what shall we fear when the over two thousand years of God prayers are covering us?

And, if we are called to love one another like He loved us (John 13:34), what does that say about our role as intercessors?
