day no. 15,883: nothing is immediate

“[Jesus] stands between us and God, and for that very reason He stands between us and all other men and things. He is the Mediator, not only between God and man, but between man and man, between man and reality. Since the whole world was created through Him and unto Him (John 1:3; 1st Cor. 8:6; Heb. 1:2), He is the sole Mediator in the world..." -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Nothing is immediate

There is nothing that is not mediated. Everything must go through Jesus. There is no way around it. There is no way around Him.

You have never experienced anything that hasn't gone first through Him. Nothing can get to you without going through Him. Nothing has access to you that has the ability to skirt around Him. Nothing can reach you by reaching around Him.

Everything is mediated.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Jesus is in between the Father and you. Jesus is in between every other man and you. None get to the Father except through Him and none get to each other except through Him. There is intimacy that is impossible outside of Jesus. No one can know the Father without knowing Him. No one can know their neighbor without going through Him. 

John 1:51
And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Jesus is transcendence and immanence all at once. He is high and above come down; He is lowly and meek ascended. He is the bridge between everything, the Mediator and connection point of every atom and every Adam.
