On Intercession (Mediation)
To intercede is to go or come
between two parties, to plead
before one of them on behalf of
the other. In the New Testament it
is used as the equivalent of
entygchanein (Vulg. interpellare,
in Hebrews 7:25). "Mediation"
means a standing in the midst
between two (contending) parties,
for the purpose of bringing them
together (cf. mediator, mesites,
1Timothy 2:5).
