Gift of God Devotional

“He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court. If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together, someone to remove God’s rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more. Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot.” Job‬ ‭9‬:‭32‬-‭35‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you ever feel like you need a mediator between you and God? You are so frustrated, you are so lost, you are so ready to give up – and you feel as if God is just so far away, out of your reach. You seek after Him, but you don’t know how. You want to communicate, but you are so afraid and feel inadequate. You don’t have the strength, and you’re ready to give up.

Look no further! JESUS COMES TO US. Jesus goes before us as our Savior and our Mediator. 

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.’” John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 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 ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬
