Poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit
“Jesus is not bored in heaven. He is fully engaged on our behalf, as engaged as He ever was on earth. He is interceding for us. Why? Because we continue to sin as believers. (Jesus) advocates for us when no one else will. His speaking on our behalf in the courts of heaven is a constant abiding reality.” (Dane Ortlund)
