Oue mediator

to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. – Hebrews 12.24

Sin caused big problems – really big problems. It causes a rift between God and man and man has been trying to sort out that rift since the very beginning. Man created all kinds of religions and dogmas and practices to try and make God happy. 

But it all falls short because no matter what we do we can’t heal the rift. Sin is still there and sin is all it takes to keep us from God. 

So our only hope was for a mediator. We needed someone to step in to do what was needed to reconcile man to God. We needed an advocate. We needed a mediator. 

The problem is that no one qualifies to advocate for us before God because every man and woman on the face of the earth is equally guilty. The supposed advocate would have to have an advocate in order to advocate for the the rest of the world. 

So God did something about it. He sent His Son to come as a man so that He could advocate on our behalf. 

There is one God and one Mediator between God and man. That mediator is Jesus Christ – the perfect Son of God who stands for us and God chooses to see Him in His perfection and not me and my sin. 

Thank God for my mediator in Christ.
