Jesus: The Only Mediator Between God and Humanity

``We are very blessed to know the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and while our lives may have troubles and tribulation, we have a hope that's steadfast and sure, an inheritance that's guaranteed, that's incorruptible and undefiled and reserved in heaven for us. And there's nothing here that can compare with that. Nothing. [00:04:03] (27 seconds)  #SteadfastHopeInHeaven

If a mediator is, in our view, someone that finds common ground, Jesus is not that kind of mediator. Here's what Albert Muller says, but there is no common ground between a holy God and sinful humanity. Therefore, Christ, as mediator, doesn't find a compromise between the two because God's holiness cannot, and I would add, will not be compromised. God's holiness cannot be compromised. God will not compromise his holiness. So we need a mediator. We need someone who will stand in between us and God. [00:15:23] (42 seconds)  #GodsHolinessUncompromised

He can fulfill the role of mediator because, you see, He's on this side with a holy God. He is holy. He is God. He's also on the other side. He is man. He has been tempted like you and me, yet without sin. He's the perfect mediator. He understands what it's like to be God and to be worshipped above all. And He understands what it's like to be born as a baby and go through life, a very difficult life, and love people in spite of the way they treated Him. He's the perfect mediator.

He offers forgiveness, and He offers His own righteousness to your account. Forgiveness and pardon are both offered by God. This is better than a presidential pardon because it covers all crimes past present and future. [00:34:36] (24 seconds)  #RestoredThroughMediator

This mediator wants to spend eternity with you. That's amazing. That's incredible. Jesus said, I will not drink of this again until the day when I drink it with you. That's the kind of mediator He is. [00:39:30] (22 seconds)  #SalvationPastPresentFuture

We have this great high priest who is a mediator. And this isn't just one of many mediators you can pick and choose. I think I'll choose this mediator. No, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one, no one comes to the Father but through me. [00:49:44] (26 seconds)

We're going to celebrate the fact that Jesus is the mediator, fully God, fully man, the one that can bring us into a relationship with God. And he gives us his righteousness. And it's by faith. By faith you are saved. By grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It's a gift of God, not of works, not of old covenant works, lest anyone should boast. Come to Jesus. Come to Jesus. Come to Jesus and live. [00:50:38] (36 seconds)
