A Mediator

If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them. - 1 Samuel 2:25

    If one can be found to serve as our Mediator, our great High Priest and deliverer, he must be equal with God and yet take the form of a servant and be made of a woman in the likeness of our sinful flesh. He must be holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, yet be numbered with them. He must be tempted in all points of the law yet be without sin. He must die under the judgment of our sins, be buried, and walk out of the tomb victoriously under his own power. He must ascend to heaven (with us in his fold), be accepted, and commanded of the Father to sit at the right hand of majesty, and yet be a man.

“Yes, there's One, only One,

The blessed, blessed Jesus, He's the One.

When afflictions press the soul,

And waves of trouble roll,

And you need a friend to help you—

He's the one!”
