5. Who is this Mediator God and man.
5. Who is this Mediatour God and man.
1Hitherto the Mediator hath been described to be the very Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, as hath been lively expressed before in the Explication of the eighteenth Question of this Catechism: the sum is, that the Scripture ascribeth to one Christ, and him only, these three things: §11. That he is God: The Word was God. All things were made by it. God purchased the Church with his blood. Who was2 declared mightily to be the Son of God, touching the spirit of sanctification. Whosoever believeth in him shall not be ashamed. There are three which bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost; and these three are one. To these also are to be added those places in which is attributed to Christ, divine worship, invocation, hearing of our prayers, and works proper to God alone. In like manner, those which attribute unto Christ the name of Jehovah. Likewise those, in which those things which are spoken of Jehovah are applied to Christ. §22. That he is true man: Hitherto belong those places which call Christ man, and the son of man, the son of David,3 and Abraham, the fruit of Mary's womb. Also when he is said to be made of the seed of David according to the flesh, to have a body of flesh, to have come in the flesh: Hitherto belong all those places which attribute unto Christ things proper unto man; as, to grow, to eat, to drink to be ignorant of some things, to rest, to be weary, to be circumcised, to be baptized, to lament, rejoice, &c.
