Speaker 1 (00:00):
Job. In chapter nine, verse thirty three, he says, nor
is there any mediator between us? Between God and men?
There is no mediator. But Saint Paul says to Job, well,
the mediator has come. His name is Christ Jesus. There
is only one mediator between God and men, and that
(00:21):
is the man Christ Jesus. But in verse one he says,
intercede for one another. What is the difference between intercession
and mediation? Intercession, my beloved, is when I go to
someone and ask them to help me about a particular
issue that I have. I go to someone that I
(00:43):
know and I ask them to help me about a
particular issue that I have. That's someone that I know says,
I cannot help you to fix your issue. But I
know someone that can very easily. So what would that
friend do? He intercedes eat to the one he knows
for me on my behalf. So who is an intercessor?
(01:07):
An intercessor is the one who goes seeks the help
from someone else to help me. I know my friend,
but I don't know the one my friend knows. But
the one my friend knows is the one and the
one and only who can help me and fix my problem. Now,
(01:31):
That's where the role of saints come into play. That's
where the role of saints come into play. Now, please
please have a big hearts and open ears, and have
beautiful heart, and let's come with simplicity of heart. Someone
might say that Jesus Christ is the only mediator. Why
(01:55):
should I go to someone else ask them for help
since Jesus Christ came and he is the only way
between God and men. Well, you need to understand what
intercession is and mediation is intercession. I go to the
one I know he can't fix my problem, but he
knows someone that can. Mediator is the one that reunite
(02:19):
two enemies. And these two enemies on one side is
God and the other one is man, people, humanity. Is
there anyone that can reunite God with humanity? Is there
anyone that can sit with God and be at the
same level of wisdom as the same level of intelligence
(02:41):
as God? Unless that is God only? Of course, it
is only Jesus Christ the only mediator, of course, because
who is amongst us to be smart enough to plead
with God? Is there anyone in the midst of the
human race, and not only the human race in the
end order? Is there anyone intelligent enough to plead with
(03:04):
God and sit with God and say, come on, God,
let's fix it. Is there anyone as wise, as infinite,
as smart as God? There isn't. It's only God. Therefore,
Jesus Christ. Of course, he is the only mediator, because
he is the only one in him. Divinity and humanity
were united in the person of Christ. So the role
(03:26):
of the mediator is to bring two enemies back into unity.
The mediator is to plead with the one he knows
to fix my problem. When someone says, why should I
go to a saint? Since Jesus Christ is the only mediator,
Jesus Christ is the mediator to reconcile God to men.
(03:47):
We cannot go to Jesus Christ. Always we cannot, and
I'll tell you why, And please bear with me. Every
time we sin, every time we make a mistake, every
time we break God's word, The word and the law
of God stands forever. What does the Holy Bible say
(04:09):
about sin? The wage of sin is what death? The
wage of sin is what death? Every time we make
a mistake, the law stands. The wage of sin is death?
What is death? I become separated totally from God as Christians,
don't we sin? Of course we do. We make mistakes.
(04:32):
After the Holy Baptism, we still make mistakes. Every time
we make a mistake. We are totally separated from God.
Can I go to Jesus Christ anytime I want? No,
When I'm a sinner, i am separated from him. Jesus
Christ is God, and God is light, and sin is darkness.
There is no unity between darkness and light. There is
(04:52):
no connectivity between the two. So I have made a mistake.
I am detached. I am separated from my Lord Jesus.
What do I do. I go to the Saint. I say, Saint, Please,
I beg you, I've got a problem. I've done this,
and I've done this, and I've done this. Please help me.
The Saint, of course, cannot forgive sins, does not have it.
(05:17):
There's only one that can forgive sins, the blood of Christ,
the blood of the Lamb of God, who carries away
the sins of the world. There is only one that
forgives sins, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. All glory is only name.
So when I go to the Saint and I beg
the Saint and tell him about my issues, the saint says,
(05:37):
I know what your issues are. I cannot help you,
but I know someone that can. I'm gonna go to
Jesus Christ, and I'm gonna beg him for you to
help him out. Now, when I made the mistake, I
became a stranger to Jesus. But that Saint is in paradise.
(05:58):
That Saint is always in the presence of the Lord Jesus.
They are the best friends. The unity between the two
of them is so enormous. No one can separate the
two from each other. The Saint is in paradise, cannot
sin anymore.
