Christ Our Mediator
hrist is the
spouse, the mediator between God and humanity--this inasmuch as he is man.
For inasmuch as he is God, he is no mediator but is equal to the Father.
How ever could we come to God when such distances had to be traversed?
God himself remains God; humanity is assumed by God. There results a single person. Here is God, our liberator; here is man, our mediator.
-- Sermon 293, 7
Prayer. Lord, within the bulwark of your love and mercy, protect me.
-- Commentary of Psalm 16, 8
