The Everlasting Covenant

Christ the Mediator

And this is emphasized by the fact that it was ordained “in the hands of a Mediator.” Who was that Mediator?—“Now a Mediator is not a Mediator of one, but God is one.” ³ “For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” ⁴ Jesus Christ was therefore the One who gave the law upon Sinai; and He gave it in His capacity of Mediator between God and men. And so, although it was impossible that there could be a law given which could give life, the law which was death to unbelieving sinners was in the hands of a Mediator who gives His own life, which is the law in its living perfection. In Him death is swallowed up, and life takes its place; He bears the curse of the law, and the blessing of it comes to us. This brings us to the fact that at Sinai we find Calvary. EVCO 304.1
