OUR MEDIATOR

1 Timothy 2:5

⁵ For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,






  Ever wonder what you would do if you were thrown into jail? Better yet, how about prison? Have you ever been accused of something you didn't do? How about being sentenced to death for being yourself? 


  I know a man that would give anything for his friends. He loved unconditionally, practiced what he preached, and turned the other cheek. He lived a short life, but his time on earth is the most documented time of any person in history. He healed the lame, blind, deaf, and broken-hearted. He calmed a sea with the sound of his voice. He raised people from the dead, and restored hope in everyone he came in contact with. This man suffered in the dessert, while Satan cunningly tried to tempt him. He passed every test or trial that was thrown at him. In the end, he would have nothing to show for it but his own life. As he hung on that cross lifeless, he looked down on the people that claimed to be his friends and said-" It Is Finished". His work on earth had been accomplished. He became our mediator.
  
  As you go through your life, wishing that someone would take up for you. Just remember that the greatest man to ever live, lived for one purpose. To die for us, and become our defense, our help, our strength, and our mediator. Now when we have done something, wrong we have a defense attorney that will take our case to God. Welcome this awesome man in to your life today, and let him take your case to court. He has never lost a case. He just needs a simple response from you.

Romans 10:9-11

⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹ As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”^[a]
