This message is titled; Jesus is a Better Mediator

He is actively at work for good in the lives of all of His people. One of the ways that we see this is through prophetic promises. In these promises we see where God who is sovereign over and controlling of the future in advance through His servants the prophets He predicts the future; He determines the future.

God uses even the circumstances of our lives to bring us to our senses.

Jesus is perfect; we are in progress. For those of you that are making progress, don’t get discouraged by judging yourself on the standard of perfection, but look at yourself through the eyes of progress.

That God would go to such great lengths to actually have one book of the Bible given to one person is an indication that God is very loving and He knows us all and doesn’t deal with us as a herd but He deals with us individually as His image-bearers.

Jesus forgives all the sins. Jesus works out all the mistakes. Jesus takes the worst tragedy in human history and turns it into the greatest moment of all eternity. Jesus takes this mess and makes it into the greatest glory. And this whole Book is about Him. Jesus Death Redeemed
