Who is our advocate with the Father in 1 John 2:1?

According to 1 John 2:1, the advocate with the Father is Jesus Christ the Righteous. When any person sins, He intercedes on their behalf before the Father. He serves continually, twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, as the righteous intercessor.

Les explains that when a person sins, they have an advocate, an intercessor, someone interceding for them to the Father. In 1 John 2:1, that advocate is Jesus Christ the Righteous. Les points out that all three persons of the Trinity are involved in our prayer line, constantly working on our behalf.
