Heidelberg Catechism

Question 48. But if Christ’s human nature is not present wherever his divinity is, are not the two natures in Christ separated from one another? (See previous question and answer for the context of this question.)

Answer: Not at all, for since his divinity has no limits and is omnipresent, (a) it must follow that his divinity is beyond the limits of the human nature he assumed, (b) but nevertheless is within human nature, and remains personally united to it.

The Problem of Sin and the Problem of Mercy

I posted at Out of the Ordinary today on the saving work of Jesus. It’s another in the series of posts about the truths every Christian woman—or man or child, for that matter—should know.

Here’s a taste:

Like all good stories, [the true story of God and his work in the history of his creation] has a problem that must be solved, and it’s only right that a big story has a big problem—the biggest ever—a problem only God can solve.

Read the rest of Jesus Lived and Died.

Sunday's Hymn: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, Holy, Holy, all the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, Holy, Holy, though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
