This is the means by which God wants to introduce us to the meaning of the mediator.

He gave His life and then stood ceaselessly between God and us, His people. At the mountain full of fire, we discover that we need a mediator. This can be seen on the cross. There is no place where we discover this more, for there God has revealed Himself in darkness and fire toward sin.

‏ Deuteronomy 5:26

The People Fear the LORD

The people fear the LORD and ask Moses to take their place between them and the LORD. This is the means by which God wants to introduce us to the meaning of the mediator. A mediator is not only someone who stands between us and God, but he also guarantees the consequences of our failure. Our Mediator is the Lord Jesus (1Tim 2:5). He gave His life and then stood ceaselessly between God and us, His people.

At the mountain full of fire, we discover that we need a mediator. This can be seen on the cross. There is no place where we discover this more, for there God has revealed Himself in darkness and fire toward sin.
