The Mediatorship of Christ will never come to an end. It was needed to bring sinners nigh to God; it is ever needed to keep them nigh. They have no standing before God, but in the Mediator; they are complete in Him, and only in Him. They never acquire such a personal righteousness as will make them independent of imputed. They owe their justification, their place in the divine favour, and in the divine government, to their union to Him, and to Him in His office of Mediator; and to maintain their place His mediation is ever necessary. In the heavenly Jerusalem He is still the Lamb.
