The Sinner's Defence

In this episode, we turn to 1 John chapter 2 and consider one of the most comforting truths in Scripture: Jesus Christ, the sinner's Advocate. Drawing from John's words, "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father," we are reminded that every one of us stands guilty before God's perfect law. There are no technicalities, no hidden evidence, and no miscarriages of justice in God's courtroom. By His law, we have all sinned and fallen short. Yet into this courtroom steps Jesus Christ the Righteous. As our Advocate, He stands before the Father—not to deny our guilt, but to plead on our behalf. Unlike earthly defenders, Christ does not argue innocence. Instead, He pleads the merits of His own precious blood, shed for sinners. He bore the punishment we deserved, fully satisfying divine justice. This message unfolds the beauty of Christ's qualifications, His perfect righteousness, and the certainty of His success. Those for whom Christ pleads are truly redeemed. The episode closes with a solemn and loving call: Christ is our only hope. To neglect Him is to face judgment alone—but to trust Him is to have an Advocate who never loses a case.
