I Timothy 2:5 (NKJV) 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

I TIMOTHY 2:5 Do You Know My Jesus?

The Mediator This morning we want to focus in on Jesus as the Mediator When we think of the idea of Christ the Mediator, we often think in terms of prayer That’s the context in which I Timothy 2:5 is written

The Mediator First we might ask what exactly a mediator is The dictionary defines it as one who intervenes between two persons who are at variance, with a view to reconcile them; one who acts as a medium of communication between two contracting parties

The Mediator Strongs defines it as a go-between; one who intervenes between two, either in order to make or restore peace and friendship, or form a compact, or for ratifying a covenant We often think of Jesus as that go- between when we pray

The Mediator The truth is that Jesus has been a Mediator in many different ways It was through His sacrifice on the cross that we have been reconciled back to God (Rom. 5:6-11) However, I want us to think about what Jesus says of Himself in this respect….

The Mediator 1. Jesus Words  John 1:43-51  Philip brings Nathanael to Christ  Jesus indicates that He knows who Nathanael is  Christ goes on to prove who He is to Nathanael by telling Nathanael that He saw him under the fig tree

The Mediator 1. Jesus Words  Nathanael was amazed and immediately confesses his faith in the Christ  Jesus then affirms that seeing Nathanael under the fig tree was just the tip of the iceberg  He then reveals this in verse 51…

The Mediator 1. Jesus Words  What exactly did Jesus mean by this?  What was He revealing to us about Himself with these words?  These words that are spoken here by Jesus sound very familiar to an Old Testament passage found in Genesis…

The Mediator 2. Jacob’s Ladder  Genesis 28:10-19  Jacob was on his way to Laban’s when he stopped off for the night  He dreams of a ladder that went from the earth all the way up into heaven  The angels of God were going up and down

The Mediator 2. Jacob’s Ladder  Jacob called that place Bethel (House of God)  What we read in this passage bears resemblance to what Jesus spoke of in John 1  What does this parallel tell us?

The Mediator 3. Jesus The Mediator  Christ told Nathanael that he would see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man  In other words, Christ would be that ladder that Jacob saw back in Genesis 28

The Mediator 3. Jesus The Mediator  What this means is that Jesus is that ladder that connects God to man  He would bridge the gap between the two  Isn’t that what a mediator does?  Jesus is telling us early in the Gospels here what He has come to do

The Mediator 3. Jesus The Mediator  Paul reminds us in II Corinthians 5:17-19 what Christ did in reconciling us to God  He is the Mediator in the aspect of prayer, but He is also Mediator in so many more ways  Jesus reveals this to us by looking back at a type of Himself
