names of Jesus: Mediator

 names of Jesus: Mediator by ric gustafson


We have a great Mediator. According to I Timothy 2, there is one God and one mediator. We don't need sacred buildings or holy men to stand between us and God. All we need is a mediator. That way we have direct access to God's presence.
To know that we have a Mediator is a glorious gift. We can turn to him in prayer. His Spirit meets us. We cannot escape the Mediator. He stands in the gap. He intercedes on our behalf. He presents us to the Father. By his wounds, we are healed. By his grace, we are set free. 
So who is the Mediator?. It is Jesus Christ whom I love
