Why is Jesus called the Mediator and how does it relate to His counsel?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is called the Mediator because He facilitates the relationship between God and humanity, providing counsel that reconciles us to God.
In Hebrews 12:24, Jesus is described as the Mediator of the New Covenant, which highlights His critical role in reconciling humanity to God. As the Mediator, He bridges the gap created by sin, offering His counsel not only to guide us but to restore us to a right relationship with the Father. This mediation is essential as it allows believers to approach God confidently, knowing that Christ intercedes for us.
His role as Mediator encompasses providing counsel that aligns with God's will and purpose. Through His teachings and guidance, we are equipped to live in obedience to God’s commandments and are reminded of the grace that undergirds our relationship with Him. Thus, Christ’s counsel is integral to our understanding of salvation and our daily walk in faith.
