The Mediator is Christ, the Son of God, whom his Father in his infinite Wisdom, Goodness and Mercy, providing a means, when there was no other means left in Heaven or upon the Earth to save us, sent down his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to save all Believers: whereupon it is not only said, that Christ died, but that he was rdelivered up to death for us: the exceeding measure of whose Mercy and Love in this behalf, is commended in the Scripture by two circumstances; one is, the giving of his Son, his only Son, his beloved Son, for our Redemption. sIn this, saith the Apostle, was the love of God manifested towards us, that he hath sent his only begotten Son into the World, that we should live by him. And our Saviour Christ in tJOHN, God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
