Why is Yeshua called “the man” and the one mediator?

Part of a series: questions that make more sense when the Tanakh and the New Testament are read together.

Paul names “the man Messiah Yeshua” as the one mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5); Hebrews calls him “mediator of a new covenant” (Hebrews 9:15).

Why “the man” specifically, and why does a mediator need to be one?

  • 1 Timothy 2:5
  • Hebrews 9:15
