The Mediatorship

Beloved, this Sunday, we draw our inspiration from a new theme entitled, “The Mediatorship”. The Apostle Paul told Timothy, “THIS is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:3-5). Beloved, those of us who know the One true God and understand the Oneness or fullness of the Godhead in Jesus Christ have no problem here. We recognize that God became man for the purpose of finishing His work according to His plan. As Jesus said in the Gospel according to John, “my Father worketh hitherto, and I work” (John 5:17). As the Eternal Spirit, or “the Father”, God had progressed His work up to this point. But now, Beloved, the furtherance of the work required that He take on a body of flesh and place Himself in the office of “sonship”. Now, as the Son, He continues the work of redemption.

Precious Ones, Jesus said, “the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me” (John 5:36). This means, Beloved, that God is now carrying on the work through Jesus’ office of sonship, and in this manner, it is God’s will to “finish his work” (John 4:34). Beloved, not only did Jesus become “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world” (John 1:29), but He also became our “High Priest”. Please, when you have time, look at Hebrews 3:1. Today, as our High Priest, Jesus is doing the work of the sonship. During His lifetime on earth, He worked through His physical body. Now, He works through His spiritual Body, the Church. This He must do until He has fully accomplished His will to mediate every soul that he has predestined (predetermined) to come to salvation. Everyone that is called to be saved must be saved before His will is completed. Remember, Paul spoke to the church of Corinth about “the end, when he (Jesus) shall have delivered up the (entire) kingdom to God, even the Father; When he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (I Corinthians 15:24).

Chosen Ones, all this means is that Jesus is the only One, and the only Name to which people must run in order to be saved. Without Jesus, all will be lost. We that have the knowledge of the Truth must prevail in persuading men and women to accept Him as their personal Savior.

I will write more on this subject next Sunday. Until then, know this,

I love you all SO very much.
In His Love,
