Jesus Christ, the Christian's intercessor:

Romans 8:34 KJV

(How many?)

(Our Saviour is not dead on a cross, but alive, and interceding for His people at the right hand of the Father in heaven.)
Hebrews 7:25,26 KJV

Hebrews 8:6/9:13-15,24 NLT

14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered Himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.
15 That is why He is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.
24 For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf.

Hebrews 12:24 NLT
You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness...

I John 2:1 KJV
