For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 NIV
My daughter and I were watching the movie, "Recount", about the 2000 election fiasco in Florida. Perfect movie for election-eve. And the fact that her dad and I were extras in the movie had no bearing on our decision to watch...but I digress. She was confused about all the commotion...just recount the ballots! I explained that 20 plus attorneys, justices, etc could not come to a decision about one election law. There were mediators and advisories issued but no one heeded them.
But praise God we don't need 20 lawyers in order to win our case that we should go to heaven. Jesus is our mediator. And he had no hidden agenda, he wasn't in it to win. He was in it to save us, to defeat death and forever bring us to be with God. I don't remember one attorney or judge from that time who would have given up their own life for justice and for right.
But Jesus did. His is the ultimate ransom for our souls.
