JESUS THE MEDIATOR ONE MEDIATOR MEANING
Welcome to our Christianity Oasis Christian Walk Bible study program. This is our Jesus the Mediator Bible study on the absolutely awesome one Mediator meaning and how the message within affects you today. This Jesus the Mediator Bible study will truly enLIGHTen your be-YOU-tiful Christian walk. Let's look into this together.
JESUS THE MEDIATOR BIBLE STUDY WHAT IS THE ONE MEDIATOR MEANING
Let us begin, shall we? A Mediator is defined as a negotiator who acts as a link
between two parties. The
Bibles reveals that Jesus is the Mediator of the New
Covenant.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and
one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
... |
Hebrews 8:6
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by
how much also
He
is the Mediator of a better Covenant,
which was established upon better promises.
|
Hebrews 9:15
And for this cause
He
(Jesus)
is the mediator of the new testament,
that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.
|
The
Bible is clear ... Jesus is the Mediator between us and God because
mankind broke God's rules in the Old Covenant and Jesus brought in the New
Covenant and only thru JESUS can our prayers be heard by
God. Let’s do a lil exploring shall we?
If you have not already, you may want to read the
New Covenant study within our
Christian Walk Studies to become more familiar
with what the Bible shares on the New Covenant.
JESUS THE MEDIATOR EXPLAINED ONE MEDIATOR MEANING BLESSING
We are taught to plant seeds of TRUTH and we are to WATER
those seeds within ourselves, so I would like for us to do a
lil watering so God can do a lil increase within us.
1 Corinthians
3:7-9
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither
he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and
every man shall receive his own reward according to
his own labour. For we are labourers together with
God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
|
For those who have read the New Covenant
study/sermon ... I would like to "WATER" what we have
learned a bit more and expand on the meaning of this New
Covenant, look into how Jesus is the MEDIATOR of this New
Covenant and how it affects your life today ...
A "covenant" is an agreement between two
parties. In this case the agreement was between God and man.
It was based on LAW given to the people by God, through
Moses. The Old Testament of the Bible, is based on this Old
Covenant.
But, the Bible teaches us that God chose to
create a NEW Covenant and this New Covenant is revealed by
the New Testament. Our Father told us in the Bible that we
will KNOW that He is God cuz He tells us things that will
happen before they occur. Did our Father prophecy, through
His servants the prophets, of the coming of this New
Covenant? ABSOLUTELY ...
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with
the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that
I made with their fathers in the day that I took them
by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;
which my covenant they brake, although I was an
husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be
the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put
my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my
people. And they shall teach no more every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the
LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of
them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I
will forgive their iniquity, and I will REMEMBER THEIR
SIN NO MORE. |
God said that He would place the LAW within
our hearts and forgive all of our sins and remember the sins
no more. Now this does NOT mean that the Law is of no
effect, rather it is saying that when you believe in Jesus,
God will place the laws within your heart. It is confirmed
that He had performed this act in the New Covenant
(Testament) ... It says that God found the Old Covenant to
possess faults and that Jesus is the mediator of the New
Covenant.
Hebrews 8:6-8
But now hath He (Jesus)
obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also
He (Jesus) is the
mediator of a BETTER Covenant,
which was
established upon BETTER promises.
For IF that
first Covenant had been faultless, then should no
place have been sought for the second.
for finding fault with them, He saith, Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
|
God found fault with the Old Covenant ... A
BETTER Covenant was made, which had BETTER promises, as the
first was not faultless. God found fault with the PRACTICES
and PROMISES because His people could not abide by the first
Covenant.
WHY IS JESUS THE MEDIATOR ONE MEDIATOR MEANING
So, in Love ... God made a better Covenant that
His people could abide by with better promises. Yes, our
loving Lord is perfect and what He does is perfect. But ... A
strange thing happened on the way to perfection. Much like we find in the book of Genesis ...
Genesis 6:6
And it repented the LORD that he had
made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at his
heart. |
God created man and man is not perfect. Not
because the design was flawed, but rather because in love,
God gave mankind free will. If you throw in the enemy of our souls (Satan)
and the choices mankind has made having this free will altered the perfection
thereof and God ... Found a serious fault that we would have condemned by.
So God's perfect Covenant, in a perfect world have been
effective, but His children fell and were not perfect and in
Love, He created an even better Covenant that His children
could deal with. When God found the fault with the Old
Covenant ... God did not change man by removing free will,
but rather changed the Covenant. In this New Covenant based on
Love. He placed the laws in the hearts of man.
So, in order to save His children, He had to sacrifice
His Son Jesus as to establish a new blood Covenant worthy of
cleansing the sins of the people. In the days of Moses,
blood was sprinkled on the people to establish the Old
Covenant. (Kinda like a blood pact between friends) Now, in
the New Covenant, it is the blood of Jesus that established
the New Covenant.
Matthew 26:28
For this is
my
blood
of the
NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins. |
Hebrews 13:20
Now the God of peace, that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great
shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood
of the
everlasting covenant,
make you perfect in every good work to do His will,
working in you that which is well pleasing in His
sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever
and ever. Amen. |
JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT ONE MEDIATOR MEANING AND GRACE
Now, let’s talk about how this New Covenant affects YOU in your
Christian walk. We now know that Jesus is the Mediator or
BRIDGE between you and God. You can NOT get to God without
going thru Jesus. So, if you have been praying, but not
saying “In Jesus name” your prayers are not being heard.
We are taught to Always ask in Jesus’ name.
John 14:13-14
And
whatsoever ye shall ask IN MY NAME, that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye
shall ask any thing IN MY NAME, I will do it. |
Jesus is the GATEWAY between
the Old Covenant and New Covenant. Between the old outcome
and the renewed Eternal Promise ...
John 10:9
I am the
door: by me if any man enter
in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
|
You MUST enter in the JESUS door to get to
God ...
John 16:23-26
And in that day ye shall ask
me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask
the Father IN MY NAME, He will give it you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing IN MY NAME: ask, and ye
shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things
have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time
cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in
proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
At that day ye shall ask IN MY NAME: and I say not
unto you, that I will pray the Father for you.
|
JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT ONE MEDIATOR MEANING AND GRACE
So, we pray to God THROUGH Jesus.
Simple enough.
But, we also have been taught to pray BY the Holy Spirit ...
Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for
as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the
mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for
the Saints according to the will of God. |
Sooooooo, our prayer comes from
our Soul and is FELT by our own spirit and the HOLY SPIRIT
feels it and makes intercession for us thru Jesus to GOD.
The Holy Spirit INTERPRETS our Prayers. Pretty cool huh?
What are the LAWS of this new Covenant? Have
the laws themselves changed?
Most that study
God's Word use this Scripture to reveal that the Laws have
NOT changed.
Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven
and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. |
So, the New Covenant which is based
on better promises still has laws. BUT, who was Jesus
talking to? Who were Jesus and the Apostles preaching the
New Covenant to?
Matthew 10:5-6
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and
commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the Gentiles,
and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But
go rather to the
THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. |
Matthew 15:22-24
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out
of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have
mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is
grievously vexed with a devil. But He answered her not
a word. And His disciples came and besought Him,
saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But He
answered and said,
I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL. |
Jesus made it clear He was sent to the Lost
sheep of ISRAEL (At least at that time) But there were
faithful gentiles (Those who were not Jewish) who Jesus was
amazed at their Faith and performed miracles for.
Matthew 15:25-28
Then came she and worshipped Him,
saying, Lord, help me. But He answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it
to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat
of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great
is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And
her daughter was made whole from that very hour. |
Jesus
had come to end the Old Covenant and get as many JEWISH
souls to repent and accept the TRUTH before the New Covenant
was to begin. As Jesus made clear ... He came for the Jewish
people AT THAT TIME.
So, this New Covenant was made with JEWISH
people AT THAT TIME.
But ... Why not
Gentiles?
Because the Old Covenant which was broken by
the Jewish people was not made with Gentiles.
it was made only with the Jewish people.
JESUS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN MAN AND GOD ONE MEDIATOR MEANING BRINGS HOPE
Now, after the death, resurrection and rising to Heaven of Jesus, the New Covenant took effect.
Hebrews 9:15-17
And for this cause
he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means
of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also
of necessity be the death of the testator. For a
testament is of force
AFTER MEN ARE DEAD:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth. |
After Jesus was taken to Heaven and the
Gentiles (Non-Jewish people) were now able to become
Christians into the NEW COVENANT ...
We are also told that in the New Covenant,
Jewish and Gentile are deemed as being the same.
Romans 10:12
For there is
no difference between the Jew and the
Greek:
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon
Him.
|
NOTE ... THIS WAS AFTER THE NEW COVENANT
TAKES EFFECT
Many Jewish Christians were
none to happy about this as the OLD COVENANT LAW said Gentiles were
unclean and even eating with them could defile a man. But ...
Peter learned the hard way that what God calls clean is
clean and spoke up.
Acts 15:7-10
And when there had been much disputing,
Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren,
ye know how that a good while ago God made choice
among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear
the word of the Gospel, and believe. And God, which
knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the
Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us; And put no
difference between us and them, purifying their hearts
by Faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a
yoke upon the neck of the disciples,
WHICH NEITHER OUR FATHERS OR WE WERE ABLE TO BEAR? |
JESUS THE MEDIATOR DEBATE ONE MEDIATOR MEANING ON GRACE VERSUS LAW
Some Jewish Christians wanted to impose the
laws of the OLD Covenant on the Gentiles. However, the HOLY
SPIRIT thought it was fitting to "burden" the Gentiles with
only a few "LAWS".
Acts 15:19-20
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,
which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But
that we write unto them, that they abstain from
pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from
things strangled, and from blood. |
So the elders of the early Christian Church
sent a message out ...
Acts 15:23-29
The Apostles and elders and brethren send greeting
unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch
and Syria and Cilicia. Forasmuch as we have heard,
that certain which went out from us have troubled you
with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be
circumcised, and keep the law: to whom WE GAVE NO SUCH
COMMANDMENT: It seemed good unto us, being assembled
with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our
beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded
their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We
have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also
tell you the same things by mouth.
FOR IT SEEMED GOOD
TO THE HOLY GHOST,
and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than
these necessary things;
That ye
abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood,
and from things strangled, and from fornication: from
which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well.
Fare ye well. |
So, in the New Covenant ... According
to the Holy Ghost, the Gentiles are NOT subject to the same
LAWS and CUSTOMS of the first Covenant, which was made with
Jewish people ONLY and the Jewish people were NOT able to bear it
according to Peter, so God made a New Covenant based on
Better Promises and God sealed the New Covenant with the
BLOOD Of Jesus making Him the MEDIATOR of the New Covenant
which began AFTER His death.
How do we come to terms with the Law issue in the New Covenant which is
mediated by Jesus who has such Love and MERCY for us?
Is not the heart of the LAW based on MERCY?
Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and
cummin, and
have omitted the weightier matters of
the LAW, judgment, MERCY, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the
other undone. |
JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF LOVE ONE MEDIATOR MEANING ON HIS PROMISE
Are the Gentiles (and the Jewish souls for that matter)
still subject to the same laws of the OLD Covenant which
those before us were unable to bear so God creates a NEW
Covenant?
Here is
WISDOM ...
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with
the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that
I made with their fathers in the day that I took them
by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;
which my covenant they brake, although I was an
husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be
the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the Lord,
I WILL PUT MY LAW INTO THEIR INWARD PARTS AND WRITE IT
IN THEIR HEARTS; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more
every man his neighbour, and every man his brother,
saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me,
from the least of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and
I will
REMEMBER THEIR SIN
NO MORE. |
BY GRACE ... GOD is placing the laws
within us slowly as we walk this Christian walk. We need
FAITH in Jesus and the rest is a miracle.
It is God’s INCREASE.
We need only plant seeds of truth and water them by reading God's Word.
JESUS THE MEDIATOR LESSON ONE MEDIATOR MEANING TRUTH
Check out these Scriptures and decide for
yourself what you believe ...
John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH
came by Jesus Christ. |
Romans 6:14-15
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for YE
ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW,
but under GRACE.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the
law, but under grace? God forbid. |
Ephesians 2:8-9
For
by GRACE are ye saved through Faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not
of works, lest any man should boast.
|
Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the GRACE of God.
For if righteousness comes by the LAW ... Then Christ
is dead in vain. |
Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of
you are justified by the law;
YE ARE FALLEN FROM GRACE. |
In short ... There is a NEW COVENANT and it
is based on GRACE not law.
It is not our works that will get us into
Heaven but His LOVE and GRACE that will cause the laws to be
placed into our minds and hearts causing us to do His will.
BY NO MEANS IS
GOD'S GRACE
A
"GET OUT OF HELL FREE" CARD.
YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR
ACTIONS AFTER YOU RECEIVE
GOD'S GRACE. |
God's Grace
reveals that if you TRULY believe in Jesus
and the TRUTH that He was willing to die for you,
and did, that you would know that He loves you so
much that you will want to do what He wants you to do
because you would know that He is looking out for your best
interests. You will try hard not to do things that would
make him ashamed or disappointed in you. You may fall, but
always remember that only a worm is free from the worry of
stumble and the real test is to see if you will get up, dust
yourself off, carry on and never surrender.
