Mediator

In the Bible, the term "mediator" refers to an intermediary who acts on behalf of others, particularly in the context of establishing a covenant or reconciling parties. One of the most significant mediators in Scripture is Moses, who mediated between God and the Israelites during their wilderness journey (Exodus 20:19-21; Deuteronomy 5:5). The role of a mediator is to facilitate communication and ensure that the terms of a covenant are upheld, serving as a bridge between God and humanity.In the New Testament, the concept of mediation takes on a profound meaning with the person of Jesus Christ, who is described as the "mediator of a new covenant" (Hebrews 9:15; 1 Timothy 2:5). This mediation is characterized by Jesus' sacrificial death, which reconciles humanity to God, fulfilling the requirements of justice while offering grace and redemption. The biblical understanding of a mediator emphasizes the need for a representative who can connect two parties, particularly in the context of divine relationships, underscoring the significance of Jesus’ role in salvation history.
