—Hebrews 9:11-15
by: Chris Galarneau.
A mediator is someone who helps to resolve disputes between two parties—seeking to faithfully represent both group’s best interests. We understand that our sin separates us from God, but perhaps we do not completely understand what Jesus did to bridge that gap. We deserve every bit of divine condemnation, yet we receive none of it. Not only was Jesus the only one who could make the sacrifice, He did it by offering Himself in our stead—satisfying the wrath of God and offering mercy at the same time. Now, He stands in the gap between us and God the Father, reconciling us back into relationship with Him on an intimate level. How amazing!
