PREACH THE GOSPEL!
Jody Oblenis
"Jesus the Mediator!" By Jody.
This is the message that God's placed upon my heart to speak unto you today. The very world today has turned its back on God. There are churches today who worship idols and not the one true God. In Catholicism they pray to Mary and the saints. People who are dead. Gods word tells us we are not to pray to dead people for they will not hear you.
Leviticus 19:31 KJV :"31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God."
Now don't get me wrong, I love God,I trust His divine plan. I believe Mary was greatly honored by God and chosen by grace to give birth to the Savior. But nowhere does God say she is to be prayed to,nor does God say that she is to be a mediator. Yet some people amd religions pray to her like she is the mediator between God and man.
Her faith is inspiring.
Her obedience is admirable.
But her role was never mediation.
If it were God’s will for Mary to serve as an ongoing spiritual authority or advocate for the Church, Scripture would clearly show it. But Scripture shows us no such thing.
Scripture teaches us gently but firmly:
1 Timothy 2:5 KJV :'5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
No pope, no pastor, no priest, no so-called “holy” man can stand between God and humanity.
Jesus Himself would have established her leadership after His ascension.
But the New Testament is silent on such a role.
We live in a pluralistic, pagan society, where all roads lead to God! All truth has become relative, and every tree is hailed as a god to be hugged! We live in a world that has turned its back on the One True Creator God; the world is embracing any foolish philosophy of man that takes their fancy; a world that has succumbed to the spiritual deception of satanic forces in high places.We have literally become a race that has twisted every single truth in the Word of God and embraced a myriad of false deities, after which fallen men are lusting. But there is only one God and not a multiplicity of gods dreamed up by man’s foolish, fallen imagination. "There is one God," Paul reminds Timothy, "There is one God and one Mediator also between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
Jesus treated Mary with love and respect as only His mother, yet He consistently pointed people beyond earthly relationships to spiritual truth (John 2:4; Matthew 12:48–50).
John 2:4 KJV:"4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come."
There is, indeed, only one God Who is sovereign, righteous, eternal, immutable, omniscient, and omnipotent... and He is invisible because God is Spirit. Yet in His wisdom, God has revealed that He is three distinct Persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit... and because God is united in purpose and character, God is ONE. He is consubstantial, co-eternal, coessential. While God is one in substance, essence, and divine nature, each member of the triune Godhead is a Person. Each member of the Trinity is one substance - with the exact essence and the indivisible intrinsic nature of entire deity
Now what I'm about to preach alot of you may attack me but the truth must be spoken. When the Church began in Acts, the apostles preached Christ not Mary. They prayed to God through Jesus not through saints.
God has given an unfolding revelation of Himself. He has identified His singular authority in the universe and He has revealed His immutability in His Word. And God has given us a final and full revelation of Himself when the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. The immortal, invisible God revealed Himself to mankind in the lovely person and face of the Lord Jesus Christ.
God is ONE, which is why the Lord Jesus was able to say to His disciples, "I and the Father are ONE." God, the Son, was born into the very race that He created, in the beginning. He came from the Father to reveal the essential character and substance of God. He came to reveal God's glorious character and perfect plan of redemption to mankind. He came as the Son of Man to display the goodness of God and to die on the Cross for the sin of the world so that He could rise as the firstborn from the dead and become the one Mediator between God and men.
Although Jesus was fully God in power and essence, He set aside His glory and came to earth as a man to live a perfect life in order to demonstrate how God designed man to live on earth - in perfect submission to the Father's will. Jesus is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of God's nature, Who upholds all things by the word of His power. He made purification of sins through the sacrifice of Himself so that he could be God's representative to man.
Jesus was willing to become man's Kinsman-Redeemer so that He was equipped to be the one and ONLY Mediator between man and God NOT Mary: "No one comes to the Father except through Me," (John14:6 kjv), were the words Jesus spoke to His disciples. Every man and woman, every boy and girl, every saint and sinner, every prophet and priest, every prince and king have sinned, for ALL have sinned. ALL fall short of the glory of God. ALL need a Saviour Who will mediate between God and man and the Bible clearly tells us that there is only one Mediator between God and man - the Man, Christ Jesus.
Christ is the single intermediary and singular Mediator between God and man. Some see this as exclusive, and indeed it is, Acts 4:12 states " Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved". But it also demonstrates God’s wisdom and grace, for He did not give multiple ways to return into fellowship with Himself, but one, simple, childlike way: Acts 16:30-32 KJV:"31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
God did not,nor did he want to make it difficult for man to come to Him. The Lord made the way of salvation so simple that even a little child could understand. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again so that whosoever believes on HIM will not perish but have everlasting life.
"No one comes to the Father except through Me," were the words of Christ to a lost race of sinners, for He is the Word of God Who was made flesh and was chosen to be the one intermediary, the singular intercessor, the sole adjudicator, the only Mediator between God and man. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory – glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Hebrews assures us:
Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV:"14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
John reminds us of Jesus’ very own words:
John 6:47 KJV:"47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
Our access to God is not through devotion, tradition, or intermediaries but through a living Savior who intercedes for us even now.
Only Christ, who shed His blood, tore the veil, conquered death, and rose again, has the authority to intercede.
Only Jesus saves.
Only Jesus hears our prayers.
Only Jesus is alive forevermore.
Any teaching,any doctrine by any denominations that shifts trust from Christ to another living or dead person is not tradition, it is deception. Its a sin before God's eyes an abomination.
It does not exalt God; it robs Christ of His glory.
People are exalting the dead saints and Mary, preferring to exalt satan instead of God.
Return to the Gospel; Jesus alone saves.
Return to the cross; Jesus alone intercedes.
Return to Christ; Jesus alone is Lord.
We are to honor Mary biblically; but we are to worship Christ exclusively.
Let us pray directly, boldly, to the Father through the Son.
My Prayer
Loving Father, thank You for making salvation so simple. I confess that sometimes I complicate Your amazing gift of salvation, which is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, the only Mediator between God and man. I pray that many will come to a saving faith in You today.
In Jesus' name I pray,
AMEN,
Your brother in Christ,
Jody.
