Rather, prayer depends on Jesus, who has opened to us the way to the Father. He entered the womb of Mary, submitted to the baptism of John, reclaimed the role of the temple for himself. This Jesus has thrown open the doors of heaven, pitched his tent among us and given his life to usher us into the throne room of grace. Jesus, our advocate, brother and friend intercedes on our behalf. It is by the blood of Jesus Christ that we pray and are heard, and it is in the righteous name of Jesus Christ that we find the confidence to believe our prayers are heeded by the Ancient of Days, who has judged our sin through Christ and allowed him to bear on his shoulders “the chastisement that brought us peace” (Isaiah 53:5). Before the God-Man, we can come untucked. And we, the unholy, can be made to want.
