Do We Need A Mediator Or Mediators To Connect Us To The Mediator?

1Ti 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus
The Lord Jesus Christ is the go-between between God and Man. In Bible times, a mediator did not need another mediator that connected one party to himself. The Lord Jesus is the way to God. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
Someone may ask: "But we need another mediator that could act as a middle man between the mediator and us right? Yes, I agree that we go to the Father through Jesus, but we go to Jesus through another mediator or a set of mediators right?"
No. For biblically, a Mediator Does Not Need A Mediator. You can go to Him directly.
Mt 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher (Jesus) eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
