Jesus as mediator is crucial because He intercedes on behalf of His people, bridging the gap between God and humanity.
The role of Jesus as our mediator embodies one of the most significant aspects of the Christian faith. As highlighted in the sermon, just as Joseph acted as an intermediary between Pharaoh and his family, Jesus Christ serves as the go-between for humanity and God. This mediation means that believers can approach the Father with confidence, knowing that Jesus' righteousness covers their sins. 1 Timothy 2:5 states, 'For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' Furthermore, His mediatory work assures believers of the grace they receive daily, granting them access to the Father. By understanding Jesus' mediatorial role, Christians can more fully appreciate the depth of their relationship with God and the assurance of their salvation.
