The Perfect Mediator... John MacArthur (GTY) To be the perfect Mediator, the perfect Anointed One who would bring God and man together perfectly and eternally, to be the One who is the Reconciler who brings unholy sinners into fellowship forever with holy God, requires a very unique person--not just anyone can do that. In theory, any man could be a king. In theory, any man could be a priest. Any man could be a prophet. But the final and ultimate King, Prophet, and Priest had to be more than man; he had to be unique. He had to be both God and man in order to fully represent man and fully represent God. He had to possess two natures, the nature of man and the nature of God, indivisibly united but not combined to form a third nature. In John 1:14 it’s described this way, “The Word”...the eternal God...“became flesh and dwelt among us.” The Messiah/Mediator must then possess all the perfections, all the powers, all the prerogatives, all the attributes of the one true, living God. At the same time, He must possess all the attributes, all the powers, and all the features of humanity. He must be fully God and fully man. That is required of this Mediator, this Anointed One, the Messiah.
