One Mediator



Lighthouse Catholic Media store


Hebrews 12:24
King James Version (KJV)
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.



Christ is the "mediator of the New Covenant". 


Frequently, Protestants insist that there is only one mediator and therefore deny the intercessory power of the Heavenly Court. 

However, Christ is called the mediator of the New Covenant because God established it through Him. Just as Moses was the mediator of the Old Covenant. 

Deuteronomy 29:1
King James Version (KJV)
These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

There is only one Mediator of the New Covenant in the sense that Christ is He through whom the New Covenant was established. But we are all co-mediators in the sense that we all are called to bring others into Covenant relationship with God.

1 Timothy 4:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

James 5:20
King James Version (KJV)
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Sincerely,

De Maria
