Mediator

How do we have access to God? How do we know God hears us when we pray? Do we need a go-between to connect with God?

We have direct access to God through Jesus. The only connection to God we need is Jesus.

The Apostle Paul wrote his disciple Timothy about Jesus’ mediation, saying, “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5, ESV).

We can access God directly in Jesus. All our prayers are heard when we come to Jesus and pray in his name. We do not need any other go-between to connect with God.

May we pray confidently to Jesus knowing that he hears our prayers and gives us direct access to him.

A Collect for Endurance: “Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the Cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
