Christ's Intercession refers to the biblical concept of Jesus Christ's ongoing advocacy and prayer on behalf of believers, as seen in passages such as Romans 8:34, where Paul writes that Christ "is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." This doctrine is rooted in Jesus' own words, as recorded in John 17:9, where he prays to the Father on behalf of his disciples, and is further developed in Hebrews 7:25, which states that Christ "always lives to intercede" for those who come to God through him.

This doctrine is central to Christian faith, emphasizing the intimate and ongoing relationship between Christ and his followers.
