THE MEDIATOR.

Our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 2;5,—John 1;1, 14): “who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption” (1 Cor. 1;30.—Col. 2;3.—2 Cor. 5;21.—Rom. 10;4.—Heb. 10;10.—Eph. 1;7.—Rom. 8;3.

1 Tim. 2;5.—There is one God and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.—Matt. 1;23.—Phil. 2;6-11.— 1 John 5;20.

John 1;1, 14.—In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.—And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

19. Whence knowest thou this?

From the holy Gospel which God first revealed in Paradise (Gen. 3;15); and afterwards published by the Patriarchs and Prophets (Acts 10;43); and was pleased to represent it by the shadows of sacrifices, and the other ceremonies of the law (Col. 2;17); and lastly has accomplished it by his only begotten son (John 1;29).

Gen. 3;15.—I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Acts 10;43.—To him gave all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.—Gen. 22;18.—Gen. 26;4.—Gen. 28;14.—Gal. 3;16.—Acts 3;24.—John 5;46.—Heb. 1;1.

Col. 2;17.—Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.—Heb. 10;1.—John 3;14, 15.

John 1;29.—Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.—Acts 13;32, 33.—1 Cor. 5;7.—Gal. 4;4.—2 Cor. 1;20.
