Answered in 1 source
Isaiah 11 describes Jesus as the perfectly qualified mediator, endowed with the Spirit of wisdom and understanding.
Isaiah 11 elaborates on Jesus' qualifications as the mediator through His divine and human natures, articulating that the Spirit of the Lord rests upon Him. He possesses the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, and might, enabling Him to execute righteousness and justice. This signifies not just His role as a mediator but also the authority and insight necessary to fulfill His covenant obligations. Jesus’ dual nature ensures that He is both fully God and fully man, making Him the adequate mediator between God and humanity, who comprehends the plight of His people while executing divine justice.
