What does seeing Jesus as our Mediator mean for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Seeing Jesus as our Mediator means recognizing Him as the sole intercessor who bridges the gap between God and humanity.

The concept of Jesus as our Mediator is foundational to Reformed theology. In 1 Timothy 2:5, we learn that there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. This position emphasizes that only through Christ can we have access to God, as He is both fully divine and fully human. His mediation involves not only standing on our behalf but also understanding our struggles, having endured them Himself. As seen in the theophany described in Daniel 10, Jesus embodies the glory of God and serves as our compassionate intercessor who knows our needs, cares for us, and presents our prayers to the Father. This assurance of Christ’s mediation brings comfort and strengthens our faith, knowing we are supported by the ultimate advocate.
