Does Jesus have the power of intercession?

It is known in the Qur'an that "[none will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant](http://quran.com/19/87) ," however it is not so clear on exactly who has taken such a covenant and thus who exactly has the rights of intercession. It is well-established (at least in Sunni circles) that Muhammad himself has such authority. The [intercession of Christ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercession_of_Christ) is a major doctrine in Christianity, with significant biblical support. However, while most Islamic scholarship I've read on the topic of *[shafa'a](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/7060/what-is-the-meaning-of-shafaah-sunni-view)* focuses (obviously) on the intercession of Muhammad, I've seen little if anything on the Islamic view regarding Jesus. **Does this right of *shafa'a* also apply to Jesus? As in, does Jesus have the right and authority to intercede on our behalf, in the same manner that Muhammad does?**
