There is a big gap between a sinful man and a righteous God. The reason for this gap is sin. When sin entered the world, it separated man from God his creator. It destroyed the relationship between man and God; the two parties could not accept each other anymore.
When man lost this relationship, he became vulnerable to the consequences of sin as clearly stated in the bible that “the wages of sin is death”. The plan of the devil was fulfilled. He came to kill, to steal, and to destroy but the awesome news is Jesus came as the great liberator and mediator between a sinful man and a righteous God. Through Jesus it’s now possible for man to go to the righteous God in a deeper relationship. Wow! That’s powerful and amazing! Jesus Christ makes it possible for man to be redeemed from sin and be accepted by a righteous God. The Mediator came with a saving plan that through him alone man can go to the father. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.
This is a great message that every sinner must hear. All the nations of the world must get this redeeming message. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but through Jesus all can be saved.
The mediator bridges this gap through us the church or the believers. We see Paul standing in the gap with this powerful message as a preacher and an apostle speaking the truth in Christ. “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” The mediator has sent us to the lost, the sinners to tell them that yes, they have sinned but there is a way out.
Jesus said “Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.
He gave authority to his disciples to go in the gap, preach the gospel and baptize people into the family of God. This implies that the gap has to be bridged; they have to be accepted into the family of a righteous God by believing in Jesus Christ and by being baptized.
It’s our responsibility as the Church of Christ to take the message of the mediator to the hurting world.
Can you join the campaign today and spread the message to the lost and hurting world?
How do you begin? Begin with those close to you, the oppressed, the needy, the un- churched, those that are depressed and confused in your neighborhood, in your school and at your work place. Speak the word, pray for the sick, look up and wait for the power of the mediator to fall on the lost.
