Bible Question: what did Jesus Christ do as a mediator between man and God? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Perrin: I would add "What is Jesus Christ still doing as mediator? In your question you have defined the word "Between God and man. He is the one who came between and filled the gap which exists between God and man because of sin. The book of Hebrews covers this in detail. In Hebrews 9:14-15 we read "How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot unto God, purged your conscience from dead works to serve the living God" "And for this cause he (Christ) is the mediator of the new testament or covenant..." By his sacrifical death and resurrection the Lord Jesus Christ came between God and the guilty sinner. His work on the cross made it possible for a Holy God to forgive the guilty and declare them righteous in his sight. In John 14 Jesus made it clear that he is the only mediator between God and man when he said "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the father but by me"(John 14:6) What is he doing today for those who have trusted him as Savior? He is our Advocate and our great high priest. It is through him that we approach God. It is through him that we enter into the holiest of all which under the old covenant was not possible for the common man. He is continually in tune with our needs and provides us with strength to walk the christian life. This is a topic which one could go on and on. We thank God for the Mediator our Lord Jesus Christ!
