(ED: BELOVED THERE ARE MANY OF US WHO NEED TO READ DAVID SMITHS COMFORTING COMMENT!) “If, however, we fall into sin, let us not lose heart, for we have an Advocate with the Father one called to your side,” so, in a forensic sense, “one who undertakes and champions your cause,” “an advocate”… Our Advocate does not plead that we are innocent or adduce extenuating circumstances. He acknowledges our guilt and presents His vicarious work as the ground of our acquittal. He stands in the Court of Heaven a Lamb as it had been slain (Rev 5:6), and the marks of His sore Passion are a mute but eloquent appeal: ‘I suffered all this for sinners, and shall it go for naught?’ (The Expositors Greek Testament)
