Question 21
What sort of Redeemer is needed to bring us back to God?
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, you are the eternal Son of God made man, the eternal Word of God made flesh. Through you and through your cross we are brought back to God. Take our hearts and help us to give them to you alone for now and eternity. For your name's sake. Amen.
