Job, during his time of trial and hardship, sought for a mediator that could bring God and him together to reconcile what was happening (see Job 9:33 & 16:21). As it turns out, no such mediator came to deliver Job out of his plight.
But we read in 1 Timothy 2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Jesus Christ stepped into the gap to fill the role as mediator for us. God robed himself in human flesh (1 Tim 3:16) just so He could become the middle man, taking upon Himself the sin of the entire world (Jn 1:29).
Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:" (Luke 22:32).
Jesus Christ is ALWAYS there to step onto the scene and deliver us...
When the Devil accuses us, Jesus is there - Rev 12:10
When the enemy rushes in, Jesus is there - Isa 59:19
When the world has had its way in us, Jesus is there - 1 Cor 6:11
When our own heart condemns us, Jesus is there - 1 Jn 3:20
Finally, we read in Ephesians 2:1-7 that though we were dead in trespasses and sins, following the world and our souls' enemy to destruction, Jesus stepped on the scene yet again. By His rich and endless love He wedged Himself between us and the looming judgment set before us, bringing us to life again through grace and by His great salvation...
Thanks you JESUS for being our mediator, thank you for being the Miraculous Middle Man!!!
