1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
ONE MEDIATOR between
God and men.
So how do people
explain their attempts to put others as mediators between them and God?
We have ONLY ONE
means of mediation.
Each of as
INDIVIDUALS must accept Christ Jesus ALONE as our mediator.
We can ask for
prayers from each other, but those prayers are for the ONLY MEDIATOR to
intercede for us. We cannot ask others
to be our mediator- we cannot ask for mediators between us and Christ Jesus,
there are NONE. The mediator facilitates
the way for reconciliation, and only ONE- Christ Jesus can bring reconciliation
and Christ Jesus would have us come to HIM, not to any other. Christ Jesus did NOT instruct His disciples
to look to one another for salvation, but to look to Him for salvation. Yes, we
are to pray for each other, and help each other but NEVER put each other, or
any human whatsoever, upon a pedestal. We are truly ALL equal as sinners, every
one of us! We cannot make any other person a sainted person, special in some
unique way. Only GOD knows the hearts of men and only GOD knows the truth of
what is within each of us. To put another person as special so as deserving honor
and recognition is to say we know their hearts when we can't. We don't have that power and we aren't
expected to have that power. The most saintly seeming person in the entire
world could in truth be the most deceptive in the art of satan's counterfeiting
ways. To ask such a one, a human being,
to be mediator for us with God, with Jesus, is to be led astray by satan
himself.
We are to PRAY to
God the Father in Heaven and to Him alone, through the grace and mercy of our
Savior, Jesus Christ!
We are NEVER to pray
to another, not ever! To do so is to pray to a false god.
We must not be
deceived!
