“An amazing and little understood aspect
of intercession is exemplified by Christ in which He performed both of these
bearing concepts. We have already established that His intercession for us was
not a prayer, but a work He did. It was a work of ‘going
between’ to reconcile us to the
Father and break Satan’s dominion.
And, of course, understanding His work in this area paves the way for an
understanding of ours.
“All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to his
Own way; and the
Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all…he hath
poured out his soul unto
death; and he was numbered with the trans-
gressors; and he bare the
sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors”
(Is. 53:6,12, KJV)
Christ then ‘bore’
our sins and weaknesses away, ‘as far as the
east is from the west.’ (Ps.
103:12). He
is not still carrying them—somewhere, somehow—He disposed of them.
It is imperative to know that we don’t
simply carry someone’s burden. We stake (anechomai)
ourselves to the person and carry the
burden away (bastazo), helping them get
rid of it!”
