From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mediator
      one who intervenes between two persons who are at variance, with
      a view to reconcile them. This word is not found in the Old
      Testament; but the idea it expresses is found in Job 9:33, in
      the word "daysman" (q.v.), marg., "umpire."
     
         This word is used in the New Testament to denote simply an
      internuncius, an ambassador, one who acts as a medium of
      communication between two contracting parties. In this sense
      Moses is called a mediator in Gal. 3:19.
     
         Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man (1
      Tim. 2:5; Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24). He makes reconciliation
      between God and man by his all-perfect atoning sacrifice. Such a
      mediator must be at once divine and human, divine, that his
      obedience and his sufferings might possess infinite worth, and
      that he might possess infinite wisdom and knowlege and power to
      direct all things in the kingdoms of providence and grace which
      are committed to his hands (Matt. 28:18; John 5:22, 25, 26, 27);
      and human, that in his work he might represent man, and be
      capable of rendering obedience to the law and satisfying the
      claims of justice (Heb. 2:17, 18; 4:15, 16), and that in his
      glorified humanity he might be the head of a glorified Church
      (Rom. 8:29).
     
         This office involves the three functions of prophet, priest,
      and king, all of which are discharged by Christ both in his
      estate of humiliation and exaltation. These functions are so
      inherent in the one office that the quality appertaining to each
      gives character to every mediatorial act. They are never
      separated in the exercise of the office of mediator.
