Topic: The Mediator
Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-7
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
Key Verse: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).
Message
Jane Goodall, a renowned primatologist, mediated a peaceful resolution between the Tanzanian government and local villagers who were in conflict over conservation efforts. In the 1990s, the government had established the Gombe Stream National Park, but the villagers felt their livelihoods were being threatened. Goodall facilitated a dialogue between the two parties, helping them to find a common ground and develop sustainable solutions. Her mediation led to the establishment of community-led conservation initiatives, which benefited both the villagers and the environment, and earned Goodall the recognition for her diplomatic efforts.

Jesus Christ is our Mediator who bridges the gap between God and humanity, providing; (1) Reconciliation: Restoring our relationship with God through His sacrifice. (2) Forgiveness: Cancelling our sins and guilt through His blood. (3) Redemption: Freeing us from the bondage of sin and its consequences. (4) Intercession: Advocating for us before God, ensuring our prayers are heard. (5) Access: Enabling us to approach God confidently, without fear or shame. You can only come to God through Christ, the Mediator between man and God.

Prayer for today: Oh God, bless me now, through Christ, the Mediator.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
