● 1Tim 2:5 . . For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus
The Bible defines a mediator as a go-between, viz: an intercessor
The ideal mediator isn't swayed by prejudice or bias, and can clearly understand
the concerns of both sides of the table, so to speak.
Joseph mediated for his father Jacob and an Egyptian pharaoh; and was very good
at it because he spoke both their languages, was familiar with both their cultures,
and was an Hebrew the same as his dad, and an Egyptian the same as Pharaoh.
Jesus is effective like that too. As the divine spirit being depicted by John 1:1-3, he
fully understands the supreme side of things, and as the human being depicted by
John 1:14 he fully understands the human side of things. So Jesus' job was, and is,
to reconcile the differences between the supreme being and the human being so
they can associate in a way acceptable to both; and, by the way: he's the only
God-given person that I know of who is fully qualified to do this.
● John 14:6 . . I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.
