Doesn’t it seem like we need some grand mediator to bring some civility to our world? The constant bickering and accusations are obnoxious. A Hollywood star recently suggested that we need to agree on a set of values. Well, I don’t think that is going to happen soon.
Finding a mediator who could objectively look at both sides of an issue and choose the best of each side sounds like a good idea to me. The problem is that the opposing sides would ever be able to agree on selecting a mediator.
Ah, but there is a mediator who can understand both sides of every issue and come up with the best plan for resolution. He has demonstrated time and again His ability to solve the most complex issues. I Timothy 2:5-6 says, “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.” Not only is Jesus the only true mediator on all issues, He gave His life to bring us to God.
