JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVNANT.

NOVEMBER 19.
 

Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.
 
Hebrew 12:24

 
THE mediator of the old covenant was Moses,
  he could officiate,
  but could not answer or be responsible for the people.
 
The mediator of the new covenant is Jesus,
  he appears before God for us, and
  before us for God.
 
He undertakes for us with God, and
  he deals with God for us.
 
He is able to do so, for he is divine;
  he is suited to do so, for he is human.
 
Other mediator we need not,
  another mediator there is none; for
    “There is one God, and one mediator
      between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
 
And it would be quite as consistent to speak
  of two Gods, as of two mediators.
 
If other were necessary, Jesus could not be sufficient;
  and if Jesus were not sufficient,
   no other could possibly be.
 
But Jesus is enough,
  he has to present to God for us,
  all that he can possibly require; and
  he has to present to us from God,
   all that we can constantly desire.
 
He is always before the throne.
 
He is always interceding for us.
 
Therefore we need not fear,
  but should go boldly to the throne of grace,
  that we may obtain mercy, and
  find grace to help us in every time of need.
 

Touched with a feeling of our woes,

Our Mediator stands;

All our infirmities he knows,

Our souls are in his hands.

 
James Smith 1849
