What is the difference between mediation and intercession and how does it relate to Jesus Christ and the communion of saints?

This is not a question asking for your opinion. I am looking for a correct answer.

A mediator, like an intercessor, is a go-between. However, there is a difference in what the mediator does as a go-between. Whereas the intercessor represents a lowly person to a high authority, the mediator works in the opposite direction. The mediator represents the high authority to the lowly person. When the high authority requires something of the lowly person, the mediator informs the lowly person of the requirement, explains it, and assists the lowly person to obey it.

There is also a need for a mediator, when the lowly person is at enmity with the high authority. The mediator’s task then includes trying to bring about the reconciliation of the lowly person with the high authority.

Jesus is our Mediator.

Intercession is the act of going on behalf of someone else that needs help from Almighty God, to be merciful and gracious unto someone else and not self. It most cases it is prayer for those whose situations or circumstances need the mercy and grace of God’s immediate attention.
Intercession requires a giving up and giving unto, as act of God’s love, mercy and compassion. The intercessor must be ready and sensitive to God at all times, totally yielded to Him, and willing to be touched by the infirmities of someone else. Intercession requires you to become selfless, forgetting about your needs, desires and wants.

Jesus is the One Mediator since He alone is true God and true man. As members of the Body of Christ we all are called to be channels of grace to others in ,through ,with ,for and because of Christ the One and Everlasting Head of the Body .
We are also called as members of the Body to be intercessors for and with and connected to each other ,as intercessors for the the whole world also. We can be intercessors and channels of grace's mediation only if we are united to Christ and focus on Him.
We are Mediators in the One Mediator and Intercessors in the One Intercessor,Jesus, the One and Perfect Priest

ok, interior the Bible (4get the place) it says to meditate upon the be attentive to God. So, fairly sit down loosen up and meditate upon the Bible. think of approximately what it says and God may even deliver out new revelations from doing this. It enables you to "connect the dots" in a manner. Like Psalms 23. It mentions the shadow of loss of existence. properly, a shadow can no longer harm you and you're able to do all issues by using Christ. So, Jesus provides you with convenience on an identical time as going interior the direction of the valley of the shadow of loss of existence. yet, in case you do not have faith in him you will try t is while o combat the conflict your self. And the BIble says he who lives by using the sword dies by using it. So, when you consider which you're combating this your self you will ultimately have a quick lived existence. you will deliver descruction to your self, simply by fact the shadow can no longer harm you. (this occasion replace into an occasion of your spirit) Intercession is once you "stand interior the hollow." Like somebody ill, with maximum cancers. they are on the prayer checklist yet they don't seem to be at church on the 2d their interior the well-being facility. subsequently, pray for them, greater desirable than one guy or woman. For the place 2 or greater assemble He (Jesus) is interior the midst.

Mediation is something a third party does in order to bring about resolution to a dispute that is satisfactory to both parties. The enmity (warfare, state of hostilities) between God and mankind is cancelled out on behalf of believers by the submission, obedience, and perfection of Jesus as He died in the place of sinners who deserved to die for their own sins.

Intercession is what someone does on behalf of another that they can't get done on their own. Jesus goes before God Himself on our behalf, making our prayer/praise/worship acceptable to God.
