I might add... in the OT, the priest performed the office of mediation. He, and he alone, would go into the holy of holies, after rigorous purification, once a year to mediate between God and man. Jesus, with his death and resurrection, accomplished the same thing, but for all time. He, and he alone, is now our mediator, because he is the PERFECT sacrifice, and sits at God’s right hand.

Serious sober question: the OT priest who performed the office of mediation. Is he guilty of blasphemy? If I, a God-loving Jew, asked him to pray to God for me, would I have been guilty of blasphemy?
