Westminster Confession of Faith Shorter
Catechism Question #22: “How did
Christ, being the Son of God, become man?”
Answer: “Christ,
the Son of God, became man, by taking to himself a true body, and a
reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of
the Virgin Mary, and born of her, yet without sin.”
Read Hebrews 2: 14 – 16
Hebrews 4: 15
John 1: 1 - 14
The easy answer to the question here is “because God
said so”. J In order for us to gain salvation, God created His son to be truly human and
truly divine. What a gift!
But the Council of Chalcedon had the same
problem. How can Jesus be truly human
and truly divine. In 451, after a month
of debate, the Council of Chalcedon
finally decided that Jesus is truly human and truly divine. Jesus walked on this earth and lived life as
a human but Jesus is from God and is part of God.
Today,
celebrate that the Christ who has saved you and made you whole is
God’s gift to you.
Prayer:
Almighty God, You have given us
an amazing gift in Your Son our Lord. May
we accept this gift in all that we do and say.
This we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
