The Bible plainly teaches that Jesus is the mediator who engages with God on our behalf, confirmed by divine appointment.
The work of Jesus as our mediator is not only central to the Christian faith but is also grounded in scriptural truth. The passage in Jeremiah 30:21 indicates that God has 'caused Him to draw near,' affirming His role. This mediator role is necessary due to the chasm sin creates between God and humanity. Since no man could approach God because of his sinful nature, Jesus uniquely fulfills this requirement as both fully divine and fully human. His coming, as foretold, enables us to have relationship and reconciliation with our Father, thus validating His position and mission.
