However, it is by means of Jesus shed blood that our sins are forgiven, so in another manner he is the mediator on behalf of all men. It's a totally different facet of mediation.
Is there any reason a mediator cannot mediate on behalf of separate parties on different issues?
1 Timothy 2:5 is very clear on one point. 1 Timothy 2:5 in the New Living Translation is rendered this way...

So, in my mind, the 144,000 have a special mediation for their mission. A mediation for the new covenant, whereby ours is one for forgiveness and reconciliation.
