Many of us are aware of our need for human mediation, that is, someone to stand between ourselves and another to reach agreement; perhaps it is a friend standing between ourselves and another friend, a boss standing between ourselves and a co-worker, or a counselor standing between ourselves and a spouse. But, we don’t often think about our need for divine mediation, that is, between God and ourselves. And yet, the more aware we become that God is indeed a real person, and that we have a relationship history with him, we also become aware that all is not right, and we’re in need of mediation. At that point, our impulse is try and mediate our relationship with God ourselves (unsuccessfully). The Christian faith gives us another option, not self-mediation, but divine mediation.
