1 Timothy 2:5, 6
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man
Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been
witnessed to at the proper time ~ 1 Timothy 2:5, 6
Jesus said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” We cannot
know God without knowing Him through Jesus. God is mystery, He is beyond our
understanding, and though we desire to draw near to Him, without Jesus Christ
is it difficult. The God of the Old Testament revealed himself to certain
people, leaders and priests and prophets. We have a revealed God through the
work of the New Testament and the Jesus found therein. He reveals himself to
all people now. We have One whom now stands between us and God; One who can
understand our frailty, our pain and sorrow, the limits of our capacity as
humans. Through our mediator, Jesus Christ, we see a man who lived as we live,
and whom we can model our lives after. We also see One who stands in defense of
us and our condemned nature, for He is our ransom. It is this price paid
through Jesus which now draws back the gulf which stands between us and God the
Father. Communion with God is our only happiness. With Jesus Christ it has been
established. Do not reject Him who stands between.
