Welcome to The Shorter Podcast: the podcast that demonstrates that the Shorter Catechism is for all and useful for all of life. You’ll find all of the The Shorter episodes right here. We are excited to journey through the Shorter Catechism with you. Please invite a friend to listen along.
In this episode of the podcast, Tommy and Stephen continue their journey through The Shorter Catechism by looking at Questions 21-22 concerning the incarnation of Jesus.
Q. 21. Who is the redeemer of God's elect?
A. The only redeemer of God's elect is the Lord Jesus Christ, who, being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distinct natures, and one person, forever.
Q. 22. How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
A. 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.
