Presentation transcript:

In our text, Paul gives exhortations as to whom we should pray for and the kind of life we should live. Then he tells us that Christ Jesus is the only mediator between God and man A mediator is one who interposes or intercedes between two parties who are not agreed Man is not in agreement with God. Man is lost in sin (Isa 59:1,2; Rom.3:23) and must have a mediator to bring himself and God together again. JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6

HIS NATURE – Christ was endowed with the nature of both parties at issue – God and man Phil 2:5-8 – Christ was the Son of God Mk.14:61,62; Matt.17:5 – Christ became the Son of Man Mk.10:47; Matt.18:11 JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6

HIS ACQUAINTANCE – Jesus was intimately acquainted with both parties He existed eternally with God Jhn.1:1,2; Matt.11:27 He lived among men some 33 1/2 years and is thoroughly acquainted with man - his trials, temptations sorrows and sufferings Jhn.2:24,25; Heb.4:15 – No one can be an effective mediator who is not intimately acquainted with the feelings, views, desires and claims of both parties at issue JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6

HIS LOVE – Jesus loved both God the Father and mankind, and was interested in restoring peace between them – His love for the Father led Him to submit to his will and die on the cross Jhn.14:31; Matt.26:39 – His love for man lost in sin caused him to be willing to die in man's stead Gal.2:20; Eph.5:2 JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6

HIS SUFFERING – Christ was willing to suffer for both parties in order to reconcile them. – He was willing to suffer whatever God required Matt.26:39; Jhn.3:16; Heb.10:9,10 – He was willing to suffer because of man sin's 1Pet.2:21,24; Rom.5:8; 2Cor.5:21 JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6

HE MADE PEACE POSSIBLE THROUGH RECONCILIATION Eph 2:16; Col 1:20 – Reconciliation means to make friends again: note the prefix "re" and the word "concile" To bring back a former state of harmony – Christ satisfied God by paying the price for the guilt of man's sins Isa.59:2; 2Cor.5:18,21 – He leads men back to God through their obedience to the Gospel Isa.53:5; Jhn.14:6; Heb.5:8 JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6

Christ is fully qualified as our mediator because of his dual nature; his acquaintance with both parties; his love for both man and God; the suffering that he underwent and the fact that through Him and no other there is reconciliation. Do you want Christ as your mediator? If so then be reconciled to God through obedience to the Gospel, then Jesus will plead with God on your behalf. JESUS CHRIST - MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN 1Tim 2:1-6
