One True Mediator

1 Timothy 2:5-7   
5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

The truth God wants all to come to is that of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and so we call this “gospel truth.”  Many are called by this truth, yet few are chosen and find the way in Christ alone as the door on the narrow road to redemption.  This truth is that there is one mediator who can bridge the chasm of separating sin, the one who gave Himself through suffering and death in our place as a ransom.  This truth was hidden but planned and told from the beginning in Eden and through the Old Testament, and was revealed by the words of Jesus which were proven by the works He did, then confirmed by those of the apostles, and finally through the disciples throughout time since then as recorded in the New Testament and history since.  Here we see the last apostle chosen and appointed to preach this good news of truth in the justifying and reconciling gospel by the faith and truth of Jesus Christ.  He is the only One who can mediate between God and man; neither Mary nor any other can do what the Son alone can, and so we find a certain hope in Him to save with absolute assurance of the resurrection to come.
