MarkH Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Q1. (Hebrews 8:6) In what sense is Jesus the "mediator" of a new covenant? What did he do to mediate this? Jesus is the mediator between God and man. Without Jesus God has no dealing with man. Jesus is our mediator between the payment for sin and man. Jesus paid the price for our sins. Once we accept Jesus as Lord of our lives, we owe nothing for sin as if we never committed a sin. Jesus became our mediator when He shed His Blood on the cross and died for our sins.

Jesus came to die on the cross for our sins that was why God sent His only son so like that we can understand and love one another,the convenant is that we are to follow and obey the Word which Jesus and the Holy Spirit wrote in the apostles and disciples.He taught us that the only way to Him is that we are to give up our sinful life and take up our crosses and follow after Him.He lets us know everyday with signs,by the Holy Spirit,and him talking to us in the Holy Word.

Dar Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Q1. (Hebrews 8:6) In what sense is Jesus the "mediator" of a new covenant? Christ Jesus priesthood is higher than the Levitical priesthood. Jesus is the only priest allowed to sit at God's right hand, He is the only priest that can bring our petitions to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is mediator of a better covenant, with better promises, fulfilling the spiritual redemption promised in the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants. What did he do to mediate this? Christ Jesus's gift and sacrifice was not of goats and bulls but of His own blood, rendered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption to those who eagerly wait for Him, He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. He is mediator of a new (fresh) covenant that has power to put God's laws in our mind and write them on our hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God's leading lady Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 In what sense is Jesus the "Mediator" of a new covenant? What did he do to mediate this Jesus is the new covenant in which he made it possible for every believer to go before the Father boldly and request their petition and forgiveness of their sins before him without having to sacrifice the shedding of blood of animals for the atonement of our sins. Jesus did this by becoming that sacrificial lamb that he shed his blood on the cross for all mankind for the atonement of our sins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Jesus is mediator of the New Covenant by God's appointing him as such because of his love for his children, wanting them to be obedient and in good relationship with him as their Father. By living in the flesh as a man, Jesus could experience all the temptations that men do, passing the test of faith in the Father's will by not sinning when faced with temptation, therefore transferring His righteousness from God onto us, even though we are fully sinful and undeserving of any righteousness. He brought us back into a right relationship with God. Jesus was confirmed as mediator by his death, his burial, his resurrection, and by his ascension to heaven where He lives forever.

hanks Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Q1. (Hebrews 8:6) In what sense is Jesus the "mediator" of a new covenant? What did he do to mediate this? Christ's ministry is superior to the ministry of the Aaronic priests, and the covenant He meditates is superior to the old one; it is better because it is enacted on better promises. Jesus offered Himself, not an animal. He presented the value of His own blood, not the blood of bulls and goats. He put away sins, not merely covered them. He gave believers a perfect conscience, not an annual reminder of sins. He opened the way for us to enter into the presence of God, not to stand outside at a distance. As Mediator He stands between God and man to bridge the gap of separation. The New Covenant is an unconditional covenant of grace. It imputes righteousness where there is none. It teaches men to live righteously, empowers them to do so, and rewards them when they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Riv Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Q1. (Hebrews 8:6) In what sense is Jesus the "mediator" of a new covenant? What did he do to mediate this? Jesus is above all humans and angels. He is all supremacy. He gave Himself as a sacrifice for all of us and our sins. His sacrifice is a one time happening, He opened a way into the high courts for us where He acts as mediator for us when we come to Him, not like in Arons time. Thru His covenant we are given a chance to live righteously and receive life everlasting. Only thru the Fathers grace and mercy and His love is this possible.

DrD Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 UNder the Old Covenant, the children of Israel broke the covenant and brought upon themselves the curse or consequences for their violation. But because of God's love He sent Jesus as the Mediator of a New Covenant to restore a peaceful relationship between God and humanity. . . Sin's penalty was death - Jesus paid that debt and satisfied this penalty by dying in our place. The penalty being paid restored the relationship of God and humanity - this sacrificial act removed the disagreement and restored a peaceful relationship. . . Romans 6:23 (NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ramon Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (Hebrews 8:6) In what sense is Jesus the "mediator" of a new covenant? What did he do to mediate this? Answer: Jesus is our mediator of a New Covenant.He is not a mediator only,but represent the NEW COVENANT. He is the Author, of our Faith,one of the most important part to which we relate to the New Covenant:(Hebrews 12:2- Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God). His goodness lead us to repentance,and change our mind looking at the promises of the New Covenant:( Romans 2;4- Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance. He absorbed all the punishment of the Old Covenant,setting us free for the promises of the New Covenant:(Gal 3:13- Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree). He fulfilled all the requirements of the Old covenant,that we cant possibly do..reconciling us to the Father,paving the way for the NEW COVENANT OF GRACE. Luke 24:44 -And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. John 1:17 -For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Now his ministry is to Intercedes in our Behalf,FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM..He is now sitted at the Right Hand of the Father in Heavenly places..doing is Intercessory Ministry,giving us confidence that our Prayers will not go unanswered: 1 John 2:1-My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: Isaiah 65;24- And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. He sacrifice his body once and for all,shedding His blood for the remission of sins(FOREVER) FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE: Hebrews 10:10- By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all]. Hebrews 10:12- But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
servant for Christ Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Q1. (Hebrews 8:6) In what sense is Jesus the "mediator" of a new covenant? What did he do to mediate this? Jesus Christ's position as mediator of the new covenant is based on His sacrificial death. Jesus is the one who instituted the new covenant and His heavenly ministry is far superior to the ministry of Old Testament earthly priest. The new covenant is an agreement, promise, last will and testament, and a statement of intention to bestow divine grace and blessing on those who respond to God in obedient faith. It is covenant of promise for those who by faith accept Christ as God's Son, receive His promises, and commit themselves personally to Him and obligations of new covenant. Jesus sacrifice is better than the sacrifices of the old covenant because it was a voluntary and obedient sacrifice of a righteous person (Jesus Christ) rather than involuntary sacrifice of an animal.

jacquie7 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The agreement of the New Covenant is between the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Jesus is the only person who can stand between man and God bringing us back together again. He gave His life as a ransom for our sin, shedding His blood, and sprinkling it on the Mercy Seat (because blood is a requirement of a covenant with God). He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of humanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Jesus is the “mediator” of the new covenant because he is between us and God and is convincing God that he took our sins. He did this when he was crucified on the cross and was resurrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
