Mystic-als said:But then why does Christ "make" intesesion for us. As in still doing it. continueous.
Off the top of my head, I'm not absolutely certain why that laguage is used. Could just be an artifice of the translation but more likely it is due to the eternal nature of the Incarnation. This is a bit speculative on my part as I've never read anything on this precise subject, but Christ still has both a human and a Divine nature and His being the mediator between man and God is, thus, eternal. It's rather similar to the way we view the Eucharist as taking part in the one, eternal sacrifice rather than repeating or reenacting it. Temporal language with respect to the Divine is always prone to misinterpretation.
