“For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5 NLT
In the old testament, mankind struggles with the idea of there only being one God, our God. Paul begins this verse in his letter to Timothy by reiterating that truth, there is only One True Living God, our God. With that truth comes the truth that there is only One Mediator as well, our Savior.
We have a Savior who knows what we have gone through and what we are currently going through. Jesus doesn’t sit on the throne unaware of the struggles that we face. He came to earth, was born as a human baby and lived life here. He then, in accordance to the plan, let them crucify Him so He could pay the final and permanent price for all of our sins. He then rose on the 3rd day as prophecy had foretold.
Once Jesus rose from the grave, He spent 40 days with His disciples and then He ascended. He went back to heaven to be with God the Father. Jesus, as fully man and fully God, is the only One who can bridge the gap between mankind, with our sinful nature and God, Who is perfect. There is no other being, human or spiritual, that can plead our case to God the Father but Jesus. After all, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
If you have trouble talking with God, then I suggest that you start by talking to Jesus. He wants to plead your case to God the Father for you. He wants to save every person, that’s why He came down here, lived here, died here and rose here – to save ALL of us. If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, I plead with you to reconsider that decision.
