God communicates with His people through appointed mediators, ultimately fulfilled in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Throughout Scripture, God chooses to communicate His will and word through appointed mediators. In Exodus 19, Moses served as the intermediary between God and the Israelites, bringing God's messages and commandments to them (Exodus 19:9). The necessity of a mediator highlights the holiness of God and the separation of mankind from divine purity. Ultimately, this foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate Mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). In the New Testament, believers are reminded that access to God comes only through Christ, emphasizing His role in fulfilling the law and defining how God speaks to us today through His Word and the Holy Spirit. Recognizing this mediatorial role is vital for understanding our relationship with God and the assurance we have in prayer and worship.
