Episode notes
Mediator Versus Direct Access
- The people asked Moses to mediate because they feared direct contact with holy God and felt unprepared for His presence.
- Joby Martin contrasts this with the New Covenant where Jesus' death gives direct access to God as our mediator.
Curtain Torn, Access Opened
- Jesus' death tore the temple curtain and established Him as the sole mediator, replacing the need for human priests.
- Joby Martin emphasizes our direct access to God through Christ's sacrifice and the scriptures.
Prioritize Personal Communion
- Prioritize your personal relationship with God over passive consumption of sermons and online preaching.
- Use sermons to supplement, not replace, direct scripture reading and prayer with Christ.
