“LAWYER AND MEDIATOR” it says on the sign that is hanging in front of the house and I am alert. The name of the lawyer and mediator is written at the very top of the advertisement and at the bottom I read the phone number in very big print. I am always alert, when I am reading the word MEDIATOR.
My HOME STUDY DICTIONARY teaches me that a mediator is “One that mediates and interposes between parties at variance for the purpose of reconciling them.”

A PEACE TREATY WITH GOD
But are we also looking for a peace treaty with God?
We war not only with one another because of sin, we are also the enemies of God because of sin.
In an old dictionary – HOME STUDY DICTIONARY – I am reading under “MEDIATE” with great joy that “Christ is called THE MEDIATOR, being our intercessor with God.”
If you want to know how the Lord Jesus Christ is interceding for us, his people, right now, read the wonderful intercessory prayer as recorded in John chapter fifteen. In Luke 22:32 the Lord Jesus Christ is praying for Peter that his faith might not fail.
Please read Colossions 1:20. In First Timothy 2:5 the BIBLE says:
“FOR THERE IS ONE GOD AND ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS,…”
IF WE WANT TO HAVE A PEACE TREATY BETWEEN MEN, WE MUST FIRST OF ALL HAVE A PEACE TREATY WITH GOD!
