Read 1 Timothy 1-3
1 Timothy 2:5 says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" It’s a good thing we don’t have to depend on anyone but Jesus for access to the Father. Anyone else wouldn’t be reliable, even if their intentions were good. If we had to depend on a leader, we might not be able to meet their price or requirements—we wouldn’t be rich enough or good enough.
If we had to depend on family, we might have a falling out with the very one who was between us and God. Or we might not have family at all, at least not blood relations. Those who make their own families by getting close to the people around them would be out of luck and never be able to get through to God.
So God made sure there was only one way to Him—His Son, Jesus. Jesus loved us so much He died for our sins, so we know we can always approach God’s throne through Him.
