The Word For You Today
SUNDAY JUNE 28
“If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 1Jn 2:1 NKJV
JESUS IS IN YOUR CORNER (1)
You might not know the name Angelo Dundee, but you’ve undoubtedly heard of world champion boxer Muhammed Ali. For more than two decades, Angelo was in Muhammed Ali’s corner–literally. He was Ali’s corner man! He also trained other world boxing champions. One of the great descriptions of Jesus is, “He’s our “Corner man!” “If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” In his letter to Timothy, Paul exhorts us to “fight the good fight” (1Ti 6:12 NIV). And you’re going to get knocked down a time or two. But you’ve got a Corner man who once went three rounds with death itself. He got knocked down at the cross, but He got back up three days later. He walked out of the tomb, winning the fight against sin and death. Where is He now? He’s at the right hand of the Father, interceding for you. In other words, Christ is in your corner! And He’s not the only one. Jesus called the Holy Spirit the “paraclete,” which translates in English as comforter and counselor. Paraclete is a military term referring to Roman soldiers who would fight back-to-back when they got into hand-to-hand combat. They protected each other’s blind side, and that’s what the Holy Spirit does. The Holy Spirit has got your back. And Christ is in your corner. The prophet Isaiah calls Him our rear guard: “The Lord will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard” (Isa 52:12 NIV). You don’t just have one member of the Godhead interceding for you–you have two!
