What does it mean for Jesus to be our mediator?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus serves as our mediator by interceding for us and reconciling us to God through His atoning sacrifice (John 17).

In the context of John's Gospel, Jesus is portrayed as the perfect mediator between God and humanity. His role as mediator involves several aspects: He intercedes on behalf of His people, ensuring that their needs are brought before the Father (John 17:9, 11). Moreover, His atoning sacrifice whips away the separation caused by sin, enabling reconciliation. Jesus said, 'No man cometh unto the Father, but by me' (John 14:6), highlighting that through Him we have access to God. His mediatorial work is vital to salvation, as He fulfills both justice and mercy, embodying the link between a holy God and sinful humanity.
