Message: Pastor Brian
“Who Is Jesus”
Response of Faith Heidelberg Catechism 35
Q. What does it mean that Jesus Christ
“was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary”?
A. That the eternal Son of God,
who is and remains
true and eternal God,
took to himself,
through the working of the Holy Spirit,
from the flesh and blood of the virgin Mary,
a truly human nature
so that he might also become David’s true descendant,
like his brothers and sisters in every way
except for sin.
