So we know from the first part of the Heidelberg Catechism that we are as wholly messed up as God is holy. We also know that we can't repair that relationship ourselves - that we need some sort of redeemer. So...
It's got to be a man, because man is who messed up in the first place. But he also has to be God because only God can fix a problem this big. Hmmm... Sounds like the pool of applicants for this job is going to be pretty small.Q15. What sort of a mediator and deliverer then must we seek for? A: For one who is very man, and perfectly righteous; and yet more powerful than all creatures; that is, one who is also very God. Scripture Proofs: 1Cor.15:21, Jer.33:16, Isa.53:9, 2Cor.5:21, Heb.7:26, Heb.7:16, Isa.7:14, Isa.9:6, Rom.9:5, Jer.23:5, Jer.23:6, Luke 11:22
