Ask Moses

"And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Get away from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on his face. And Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and put fire on it from the altar, and put incense on it, and go quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them, for wrath is gone out from the presence of Jehovah" (Numbers 16:45).

If someone interceded before God for a just and upright man, for a good and holy woman, for a newborn child, for a pure and noble old man, surely he would feel to some extent that his request is justified before God by the moral condition of those for whom you pray

But... how difficult it is for the human soul to think that God can work in favor of those who have turned their backs on him! That greatly curbs the faith and hope of those who pray. And that attitude, unfortunately, has cost humanity great suffering that could well have been transformed into a blessing.

No! Intercession is not only in favor of good souls... intercession is also to save sinners, to save nations that have turned against God, to save Christians who have strayed from God's holy paths!

Let's see who Moses interceded for. Who were they? What were their moral and spiritual conditions? What was the quality of his faithfulness to God like? How was his faith? What was really his condition before God? How was his behavior? Did they deserve something good from the Lord? Did they deserve forgiveness or death? Wasn't death what God determined over them? Is it worth interceding for someone in similar conditions?

Ask Moses. He has a clear and precise answer, forceful and sure. It won't take a second to answer them: Yes!, that it is worth interceding for sinners. That there is great satisfaction in seeing that a sinner is freed from death; that in heaven the angels celebrate when this happens; that it is not the will of God that men be lost, but that they be saved.
