OUR PEACE MAKER!
Hebrews 8:6 – Devotional
Hebrews 8:6
“Now God has obtained a more excellent ministry for He is also the PEACE MAKER of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.“
There is a word in today’s Scripture which resonates with me. It is the word mediator, which in the Greek it is defined as: one who intervenes between two, either in order to make or restore peace and friendship, or form a compact, or for ratifying a covenant.
When I was in graduate school, my final hurdle was to appear before a panel of my professors to defend my thesis and prove that I had the knowledge necessary for the degree.
I was very nervous since I had heard that previous students had been rejected several times before being recommended for the degree. My major Professor told me to relax and that he would mediate for me. In essence, he did all of the defending for the other professors and I only had to smile and try to look intelligent. Ha! (Mine was the hardest job).
Jesus is our mediator before the Father. He knows us inside and out, and Jesus knows those who have been born again with their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I am so relieved that our Great Mediator will silence the accuser (Satan) when he tries to discredit us. Oh, what a relief it is!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
