14. Can any mere creature make satisfaction for us? 15. What kind of mediator and redeemer, then, must we seek? 16. Why must He be a true and righteous man? 17. Why must He also be true God?
None; for first, God will not punish any other creature for the sin which man committed;1 and further, no mere creature can sustain the burden of God’s eternal wrath against sin2 and redeem others from it.
1 Heb. 2:14-18; 2 Ps. 130:3
One who is a true1 and righteous man2, and yet more powerful than all creatures, that is, one who is also true God.3
1 I Cor. 15:21-22, 25-26; 2 Jer. 13:16; Isa. 53:11; II Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:15-16; 3 Isa. 7:14; Heb. 7:26
Because the justice of God requires1 that the same human nature which has sinned should make satisfaction for sin; but one who is himself a sinner cannot satisfy for others.2
1 Rom. 5:15; 2 Isa. 53:3-5
That by the power of His Godhead He might bear in His manhood the burden of God’s wrath,1 and so obtain for2 and restore to us righteousness and life.3
1 Isa. 53:8; Acts 2:24; 2 Jn. 3:16; Acts 20:28; 3 I Jn. 1:2
