Stand in the Gap with Testimony of Christ


Ezekiel 22:29-30.  
29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

Romans 8:34.   Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

We all have gone our own way, and are born into a land of crime and harm to others.  No man can stand between us and God to turn away the anger justly deserved... But God Himself can, and came as a man to do just that.  Jesus Christ did all to stand in the gap sin makes between us and our Creator (Isa.59:2), and makes intercession for us to guarantee those who are His are forgiven and made holy to God's eyes and estimation.
