What does it mean that Christ is our mediator?

Answered in 10 sources

Christ being our mediator means He intercedes for us before God as our representative, ensuring our acceptance.

In Hebrews 9:24, we learn that Christ has entered into heaven itself, appearing before God on our behalf. This mediation is vital as it affirms that believers are not alone in seeking God's favor; Jesus advocates for us, presenting His sacrifice and righteousness to the Father. The idea of mediation underscores the relationship between Christ and His followers, wherein He bears our burdens and intercedes for our needs. Consequently, this enables believers to approach God's throne with confidence, knowing that we are represented by the perfect High Priest who understands our struggles yet remains without sin.
