“For there is one God and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all…” I Timothy 2:5
“…we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.” I John 2: 1-2
Lord Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. There is no other mediator, not His mother, Mary, no preacher, priest, saint or angelic being. He alone is our mediator.
The second verse in the original Greek tells us that the Lord Jesus is facing the Father for us, as our Advocate. He is seated at the right hand of God’s throne according to Scripture. He is there in His resurrected, glorified human body with the spike prints in his hands and feet and the spear wound in His side, evidence of His ransoming all born again Christians.
I pray He is facing God as your Advocate and not your Judge.
Bless His Name forever more!
Remain faithful to Him above all else.

Who in John 18 does Jesus pray to, and for , and for whom ?
To the Father in heaven , Almighty, Creator, Sustainer of Life.
For echad. Oneness.
The Apostles, disciples, and disciples in the future.
Who lived IN UNION with Jesus in the first century. (it is declared many times in the Epistles, et al)
So great is Jesus as our Mediator with the Father,
and , we (Ekklesia) may live today as one, in union, just as the Son and the Fathr are Echad, One. (John 18)
