What does the Bible say about Jesus being the mediator of a new covenant?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible presents Jesus as the mediator of a new covenant, signifying our access to God through His sacrificial death and righteousness.

In Hebrews 12:24, Jesus is explicitly called the mediator of the new covenant, highlighting the transition from the old covenant of law to the new covenant of grace. This mediation allows believers to enjoy direct access to God, as opposed to the condemnation that came through the law depicted at Mount Sinai. As our mediator, Jesus fulfills both the role of high priest and the sacrificial offering, achieving reconciliation for His people through His blood, which speaks of mercy and forgiveness rather than judgment. This new covenant emphasizes God's initiative in salvation, showcasing His grace towards sinners.
