There are some subjects that soon weary us. But it is not so with Christ. Like the sun, and the dew, and the rain, and the fleecy snow, He is always full of freshness and beauty. Let us now think of Him as our Advocate and Intercessor.

I. THE ADVOCATE'S WORK. It is —

1. To study the prisoner's case, and understand it thoroughly.

2. To feel deeply interested in it.

3. To stand and plead his cause.

4. To obtain his deliverance. Christ does all this.

II. HIS PLEA. Sometimes an advocate pleads that the prisoner —

1. Is innocent.

2. Or ignorant.

3. Or insane.

4. Or that he was quite justified in the act. But Christ pleads that He died in our stead (Hebrews 9:11, 12).

III. HIS REWARD. Christ is doing this work "for us." What shalt we give Him for this great service? He asks but one thing, "My son, give Me thine heart." To do this is right, just, blessed. Who will do this to-day?
