Send Carey a note (sorry, replies are not possible at this time) [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561734/fan_mail/new] TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE: 1 Timothy 2:5–6 [5] For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, [6] who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. (ESV) SUMMARY We slow down with 1 Timothy 2:5-6 and sit with the claim that Jesus is the one mediator who brings us into God’s presence. We unpack how sin creates real relational distance, then end with a prayer for childlike faith, peace, and rest. • reading 1 Timothy 2:5-6 and holding the words in silence   • naming how God is unlike us and why that matters for closeness   • explaining sin as relational distance that needs a bridge   • describing Jesus as fully God and fully man as a mystery received by faith   • unpacking “ransom” as Jesus paying to release us from bondage   • inviting a bedtime mindset of trust in Jesus mediating right now   As you prepare for bed, set your mind on this reality.   Support the Evening Mindset: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/EMSupport [https://morningmindsetmedia.com/EMSupport] Join over 16,000 daily listeners who enjoy the podcast that started it all… “The Morning Mindset”: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Morning-Mindset [https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Morning-Mindset]
