Stott on "Advocate" in 1 John 2

John Stott writes helpfully as always,

If we have an advocate in heaven, Christ has an advocate on earth. The Holy Spirit is Christ's Paraclete, as the Lord Jesus is ours. But whereas the Holy Spirit pleads Christ's cause before a hostile world, Christ pleads our cause against our 'accuser' (Rev. 3:10) and with the Father, who loves and forgives his children.
