under Jesus advice ...

For there is one God;

there is also one mediator between God and humankind,

Christ Jesus, himself human,

who gave himself a ransom for all

—this was attested at the right time.

1 Timothy 2:5-6

A man named John Wesley pictured the mediator Jesus as one who was, in our defense, taking on the punishment that we deserved from God when he was executed for the sins of the world. Others have seen this as his giving himself as a ransom to buy us from the evil one. These indeed are a part of the picture for me.

Another part of the picture of the mediation of Jesus is in the sense of advising us through the Spirit of God's work to come into agreement with God about what is good and right. This is to advise us into what we are to be doing.

I will seek today to be under the advise of Jesus.
