Will We Need Jesus as Our Mediator in Our Glorified State?

About this episode

Sinclair Ferguson discusses whether believers will need Jesus as their Mediator in a glorified state.

Today, Sinclair Ferguson considers Christ's ongoing role as Mediator and why this question matters for our understanding of redemption and the Christian life.
