1 Timothy 2:5 (NKJV) For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus... Have you ever been in or seen a situation where two people, or two groups of people, couldnt seem to get along or reach an agreement on an important matter? Communication has broken down to the point where they just cant seem to relate to each other. Sadly, this happens a lot. And when it gets to the point where there is an impasse and the two parties cant do anything further to solve their differences, a person known as a mediator is brought in to help them solve their differences and bridge the gap in their communication breakdown. God has done the same thing for us. As human beings, our sin causes a divide between Him and us. Its a gap that we can never bridge or cross on our own. Because we have nothing in ourselves that can help us overcome this divided condition, God created a way for us. Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Chosen One, left His place in heaven, took human form and walked the earth for 33 years and then died a brutal death to build a bridge between us and the Father. On the 3rd day after His death, He rose again and walked among men for a short time before ascending back to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. Jesus death was a sacrifice to pay the price for our sins. His resurrection broke the curse of death over our lives. Jesus was the mediator between God and man. His ultimate sacrifice (death) is the bridge that gives us direct access to God, the Father. If you are far away from God, go to Him today. The bridge has been built. We just need to cross it.
