Who is the Redeemer?
The only Redeemer is the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, in whom God became man and bore the penalty for sin himself.
(New City Catechism)
From Adam’s flesh
the perfect Man:
God, human, redeeming what
the apple’s curse has eaten.
Who else? Our kinsman,
yet not like us:
stands firm where we falter,
lives not by bread alone.
Unflinching before the snake,
He bows where we exalt,
obeys where we hide in leaves
and stands unashamed.
Truth astonishes;
determinism lurks in cracks
but light shines life where death should be
and silences the night.
