What does it mean that the angel of the Lord is a mediator?

Answered in 1 source

The angel of the Lord serves as the mediator between God and man, revealing God's will and extending grace.

As the mediator, the angel of the Lord bridges the chasm created by sin, facilitating the reconnection between finite humanity and the infinite God. This role is essential for understanding the nature of salvation as God's initiative to communicate with man through a personal relationship. The angel of the Lord represents not just a divine messenger but also the promise of reconciliation, indicated through his interactions with figures like Moses and Abraham. In the New Testament, Jesus fulfills this mediatory role, embodying the covenant and revealing God's glory, thus reaffirming the necessity of faith in Him for redemption.
