How do we know Jesus is the mediator of the covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the mediator of the covenant through the typology of Jacob's ladder in Genesis 28, as stated in John 1:51.

In Genesis 28, Jacob's dream of a ladder that reaches to heaven serves as a profound type of Christ, the mediator between God and humanity. In John 1:51, Jesus directly references this imagery when He tells Nathaniel that he will see 'heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.' This connection illustrates that Jesus embodies the link between God and man, fulfilling the covenant promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and serving as the ultimate way to salvation and reconciliation with God.
