  7. For us today • Jesus forgives sin (Ps. 32) • Jesus is the “bridge” between us and God – we need a mediator (Gen. 28:12) • Jesus is the Torah (John 1:1-3) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. (Jn. 1:1-3 NAU) • A part of Jesus’ mission is given to us in John 1 • Believe in Jesus who forgives sin, covers them when we are before the Father and connects us to God.
