Jesus the Mediator:

Jesus is the King of the Kingdom of God, but people naturally kick against God’s Kingdom.
In the early part of the Bible it looks like God is at war with mankind, what was needed was a mediator and Jesus fulfils this role.

Jesus’ other roles and ministries:

Jesus is the Prophet and many in the crowds recognised that.
Moses was a Lawgiver, he lead the children of God out of slavery and he created new worship.
Jesus is greater than Moses and he also is a Lawgiver, he leads the children of God out of slavery and he created new worship.
Jesus as the Prophet gives harmony to the Old and New Testaments.
Jesus is the High Priest who offered himself as the spotless sacrifice.
As High Priest, he intercedes for us and makes our weak worship acceptable to God.
