"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."
"This verse paints a neat picture of heaven. It says that no one can put you down in God's eyes, because Christ Jesus is at the right hand of God, defending you to him. Have you ever watched a court show on TV? The defense lawyer is on the side of the person on trial. The Lawyer for the other side is called the prosecutor, and he tries to convince the judge that the person is guilty. The defense lawyer works between the judge and prosecutor to come up with a good result for his client.
Jesus is your defense lawyer. He fights for you. Satan tells God about all the bad stuff you've done and says, 'There's no way you should let him/her into heaven. That kid has messed up a thousand times. You can't have all that sin up here.' But Jesus leans over to God and says, 'Yeah, it's true that he/she has made mistakes. But I died for that person. That person is blameless. Thank Jesus for always standing up for you."
