Q.55. How does Christ intercede?

A. Christ intercedes by continually appearing in our human nature before the Father in heaven.[1] There he makes his will clear that his own merit of obedience and sacrifice on earth[2] be applied to all believers;[3] he answers all the accusations against believers[4] and makes sure they have peace of conscience, in spite of their daily failings;[5] and he welcomes them without hesitation to the throne of grace[6] and accepts who they are[7] and what they do for him.[8]
