Q. 36Who is the mediator of the covenant of grace?
A. The only mediator of the covenant of grace is the Lord Jesus Christ who is the eternal Son of God, of one substance and equal with the Father. In the fullness of time he became human, and so he was and continues to be God and man, in two complete and distinct natures, but one person, forever.

Song: We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, gold I bring to crown Him again.
King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign.
CHORUS: O….Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect Light
Frankincense to offer have I; incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising, voices raising, worshiping God on high.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume, breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone cold tomb
CHORUS
Glorious now behold Him arise; King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia, sounds through the earth and skies
CHORUS
