Topic: CHRIST, OUR MEDIATOR

MEMORIZE: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" 1 Timothy 2:5

SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 8:3-7

³ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. ⁴ For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; ⁵ who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." ⁶ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second."

EXPOSITION:

Jesus Christ is both God and Man. He is the eternal Word of God who left His throne in heaven to come to this world to redeem the depraved man from eternal destruction that our sins have subjected us into. The word of God in John chapter 1 vs 1-4 called Him eternal Word that carries life that is the light of the world – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” He is giver of life – “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” John 11:25-26. He is the resurrection and the life. Through the sin of Adam, men are dead to the required righteousness of God and need a pardon through a mediator, an advocate who will plead our case for us before God. All were done by Jesus Christ our Mediator. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1Timothy 2:5. “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.” Hebrews 8:6. “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.” Hebrews 9:15. “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” Hebrews 12:24. “…It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:34.
