Catechism 21
What sort of Redeemer is needed to bring us back to God?
One who is truly human and also truly God.
(New City Catechism)
Can both dwell in one body –
God and man,
as though
torn asunder, the two
were somehow reconciled?
As far as east is from west:
the division of
holy and human
yet brought somehow together,
one man across the chasm.
From dust, yet glorious:
what does this
now tell of us
who say, To err is human,
and hide in this excuse?
very good!
indeed, what does it tell us about ‘the excuse’?
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Harb! I’m challenged by my own words.
