Why is Jesus considered the mediator of the new covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the mediator of the new covenant because He represents both God and man, fulfilling the requirements for redemption.

In Hebrews, Jesus is exalted as the mediator of a new covenant, a role that is crucial for the reconciliation of God with man. This mediation is significant as it bridges the gap between two irreconcilable parties—fallen humanity and a holy God. The nature of His mediation is uniquely divine and human; He is fully God and fully man, enabling Him to represent both parties with perfect knowledge and interest. This covenant is one of grace, fundamentally different from the old covenant, which relied on human obedience. Christ's fulfillment of God's righteous demands through His perfect life and sacrificial death ensures that all who come to Him are safely reconciled to God.
