If Christ intercedes, why is our intercession necessary?

--God says in Ex 19:5-6 “for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

--Isaiah prophesied “you shall be called the priests of the LORD” 61:6.

--Why did Jesus make us “priests” - and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father (Rev 1:6)?

--Why are all Christians called a holy priesthood (1 Pet 2:5) built up as a spiritual house, to be “a holy priesthood” (v.9)?

--Obviously, part of God’s purpose as priests is that we are to worship & praise Him. However it includes far more than that. We are a “royal priesthood”.

--Christ today rules the world through Prayer. We are to share this rule by intercession for others even as Christ intercedes for them (Heb 7:25).
