Today I received a letter from our MP for Northland.

I have known for a long time that the Lord Jesus Christ is my advocate, but through reading the letter I am learning that an electorate MP is not only involved in representation and assistence, but also in ADVOCACY.

It says there that an electorate MP “speaks  to MINISTERS and GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS on behalf of people who want to make things happen.”

It says in the Bible:

“But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defence – JESUS CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. He is is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” – First John 2:1,2
