MEDIATOR 1
A mediator is a go-between--one who interposes between two parties in order to harmonize or reconcile them. The great Christ is the Mediator of this solar system. He diffuses unto all of creation the Light, Life, and the Charity of the Father.
Here
on the Earth, the Lord Jesus Christ is the Mediator between us and the Great
Christ--for Jesus says, "Only through Me shall you see the Face of the
Father." Through Jesus’ consciousness and His mantle, men can reach the
great reality of themselves and their Father.
The
term go-between is a very realistic term. It points out the realness of our Lord
Jesus and His great function for man, who has lost all consciousness of life and
of the Great Creator of the life.
Man
struggles along in life--straining with those things of the earth--striving to
have two cars, two houses...to have a good-paying job, to have a nice looking
woman, and all other worldly goods.
The
whole of man’s existence today is wrapped up within himself. He no longer can
reach out from himself to see the world as it truly is. For, even as he walks
down the street, he sees the buildings and those passing by through his own
thoughts and with all his biasness and narrow-mindedness, he sees but not even a
fourth of the material world.
The
use of a go-between here is one who has reached and sees past the things of the
world--the concepts and ideas of man--and reaches into the greatness of the
Creator without opinion and without desire. Thus he links the two
together--being on earth, but giving out the Truth and the Light and the Reality
of the One World.
Jesus
stated in the New Testament, "For, lo, I will be with you unto the end of
the Age." He is ever present and always at hand--unifying man and the
Creator. He is the channel of the Great Light and Wisdom of the Father for the
earth.
In
prayer--when one reaches his mind and his Soul upward towards the Creator--he
travels through this Great Master--for He has given Himself as a channel for the
Word.
Man
can no longer stand the Light, or the Truth of God, so there has been placed for
him A Mediator, who brings things down to the level man can understand and cope
with. By man’s act of harmonizing himself with this Mediator, he then becomes
in harmony with the One for whom the Mediator mediates.
Jesus
says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light." Thus, He took on the
greatness of God while here on earth that man could see it. After the ascension,
His spiritual body diffused around the earth and thus, became the mystical body
of Christ of which all men, who receive the Light of Christ, become living,
moving, active cells within this body, of which the ruler of this body is the
God-head.
To become in tune with the Mediator, one must first follow, implicitly, all of His Commandments, which brings forth out of the depths of man the great love for his Creator.
