ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN .

 

JANUARY 3

 

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between

God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

 
There is but one Mediator; man has invented more, but God has appointed, revealed, and accepted but one.
 
One is sufficient.
 
Jesus alone is the Mediator of reconciliation.
 
His atonement is infinite in its value and efficacy; it honoured the law, satisfied justice, and glorified all the perfections of God. It perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
 
It is a sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour unto God.
 
On the ground of the one sacrifice of Jesus, sinners are received, pardoned, and accepted of God.
 
Let nothing else engage your attention when seeking acceptance with God, go through Jesus, through Jesus only: however vile, however sinful you may be, there is reconciliation to God through the death of his Son.
 
There is but one Mediator of intersession.
 
One is sufficient. Jesus ever lives to make intersession. The Father always hears him.
 
We need no one to dispose his mind to pity, listen to, or plead for us; his nature is love, it is his office and work to save, and he delights in his work.
 
Therefore he is able to save them to the uttermost, who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
 

He ever lives to intercede

Before his Father’s face:

Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead,

Nor doubt the Father’s grace.

 
James Smith
