CHRIST THE MEDIATOR

KO E KALAISI KO E FAKALALOA

1 TIMOTHY 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus,

1 TIMOTE 2:5

He ‘oku taha pē ‘a e ‘Otua, taha foki ‘a e Fakalaloa ‘i he vaha‘a ‘o e ‘Otua mo e tangata, ko Kalaisi Sīsū ko e tangata.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe   

This Son of God Himself took on human nature in such manner that His divine nature was not lost or changed into human nature, but each nature is in Him so truly, properly, and naturally that nothing has been diminished of His divine nature, so that He should not be truly, properly, and naturally God. Moreover, His human nature has not passed over into divine nature so that He should not be truly, properly, and naturally man, save only as far as inclination to sin is concerned.

None of His divine attributes has suffered because of the assumption of human feebleness, and, insofar as He is man, He is thus man that He has whatever belongs to true and literal human nature, so that nothing has been taken from it on account of the union with the divine nature, save the disposition to sin. Hence it is that both natures so reflect their own character in all their words and deeds that the religious mind sees without trouble what is to be credited to either nature, however rightly the whole is said to belong to the one Christ.
