“The Word Made Flesh” : The Ligonier Statement on Christology

by Paul Tautges | August 29, 2019 2:16 pm

Today, I spent a couple of hours cleaning my desk and office, and found a booklet that I picked up at a conference in early 2016. Immediately, I remembered how much my heart was moved to worship the Savior while I read through it. Here’s the opening statement.

We confess the mystery and wonder of God made flesh and rejoice in our great salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.

With the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Son created all things, sustains all things, and makes all things new. Truly God, He became truly man, two natures in one person.

He was born of the Virgin Mary and lived among us. Crucified, dead, and buried, He rose on the third day, ascended to heaven, and will come again in glory and judgment.

For us, He kept the Law, atoned for sin, and satisfied God’s wrath. He took our filthy rags and gave us His righteous robe.

He is our Prophet, Priest, and King, building His church, interceding for us, and reigning over all things.

Jesus Christ is Lord; we praise His holy Name forever.

Amen.
