Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Ongoing Atonement

The verse describes Christ's current actions ("maketh intercession for us") but does not explicitly link these actions to the "application" of a past sacrifice or an "ongoing work" in a "heavenly sanctuary," which are elements of the theme definition.

Christ as High Priest

While the verse mentions Christ interceding, it does not explicitly use the term "priest" or make any direct connection to the Levitical or Melchizedek priesthood, nor does it mention sacrifice in this specific context.
