Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.1 – A mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.2 |
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies. … Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.3 |
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.4 |
He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. … I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.5 |
