Mediator
- I Timothy 2:5
- Mediator – one who goes between two parties to reconcile them.
- Hebrews 8:13
- Moses was mediator of the Old Covenant. God spoke to man through Moses. Through Moses, people could approach God. Moses made this communication possible.
- Jesus is the mediator of the New Covenant. Jesus makes it possible for man to approach God.
- We must be careful not to equate the mediator with the intercessor. Jesus on earth was a mediator – not intercessor.
- Hebrews 8:4
