As we said Hebrews it is all about Jesus, our relationship with God depends on Jesus,our salvation depends on Him totally,it is not Christ place plus, or Christ and another, no it is just Jesus .Raymond Brown writes the following,'Jesus is our guarantor, our eternal priest,and our effective sacrifice'.As a sinner we come to Jesus for salvation, but as RB writes,'He now supports and sustains us through his intercessory ministry. Day by day and hour by hour Christ prays for us'.The word of God is very clear on this and yet it is sad to say that there are those who put Mary, and the so called saints,as mediators it is a tragedy. No church whatever has the authority to introduce teaching contrary to Gods word. truth must be adhered to. More and more has been added to the person of Mary,her role and power,the fact is she can hear no one,intercede for no one, and help no one.We do not need Mary,priests,or dead people in our relation with God, we have Jesus, and he is more than enough.There is no one more loving and understanding than Him,no one. I leave two verse of a hymn by Michael Bruce with you.
In every pang that rends the heart,
The man of sorrows has a part ;
He sympathises with our grief;
And to the sufferer sends relief.
With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aid of heavenly power,
To help us in the evil hour.
