Catechism Reading:
The Second Article: Redemption
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
What does this mean?
I believe that Jesus Christ, true God,
begotten of the Father from eternity,
and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary,
is my Lord.
Who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned person,
purchased and won me from all sins,
from death, and from the power of the devil;
not with gold or silver,
but with His holy, precious blood
and with His innocent suffering and death,
that I may be His own
and live under Him in His kingdom
and serve Him
in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness,
just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns to all eternity.
This is most certainly true.
