And what does the Mediator do?
The work of a mediator! Just as when two people are quarreling with each other and do not want to be reconciled, someone else comes along, and by inserting himself between them resolves the enmity, so Christ did. God was angry with us, and we had quarreled with God, the Lord who loves the human race; Christ threw himself between us, and reconciled each nature.
Leontius of Byzantium, Contra Nestorianos et Eutychianos, 53
