mediator

Definition:

A mediator is a person who helps two or more people to resolve their disagreements or conflicts with each other. He helps them and become reconciled.

Because people have sinned, they are God's enemies who deserve his wrath and punishment. Because of sin, the relationship between God and his people is broken.
Jesus is the mediator between God the Father and his people, restoring that broken relationship through his death as payment for their sin.
