Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to MAKE INTERCESSION for them. Hebrews 7:25

Jesus walked the face of the earth for 30 years (Luke 3:23) and in 3 years He finished his assignment. He's been gone for over two thousand years now. Do you know what He's been doing for over two thousand years? He is not preaching, not singing, not worshipping, not binding and losing but He ever lives to make intercession for us.

So intercession is the highest calling of all the fivefold ministry gifts. In the church, intercession is the highest calling.
