Ellen G. White

The Saviour presents the virtue of His mediation before the Father, and pledges Himself to the office of personal Intercessor. by proclaiming Himself as our Intercessor, He desires us to know that He places in the golden censer His merits and efficiency, that He may offer them the sincere prayers of His people. How essential, then, that we pray much; for as our prayer ascend to the throne of God, they are mingled with the fragrance of Christ's righteousness. Our voice is not the only voice heard. Before it reaches the ear of God, it blends with the voice of Christ, whom the Father always hears.
