...as I see it.
I don't see a man in heaven standing between sinners and a holy God advocating on behalf of sinners as an intermediary.
If that were the case, I could then easily see how that the advocate (the one in between) would plead with the one on the throne for grace and to send the other one as a comforter to the poor supplicant.
God in three persons blessed trinnnnnnity!

The blood is of what was sacrificed. That does not mean he does not still stand as High Priest. In fact since the sacrifice is still sufficient and active..one sacrifice for all it makes sense there would still be a priest. And in fact that is what Hebrews says several times. He is the high Priest forever after the order of melchizedek
