Mary as Mother, the be born, would have tures—God and J day, Christ raised . the dead. which I only God could 1 do. Yet except I that He s lined 1 not. He lived as 1 a Man and called Himself The Son of Man, so Christ had two natures — God and Man And why did God send Him to us’ God so loved us. that H? gave Christ, this Son, to die for our sins, that if we should believe on Him. we wouia not perish but have eternal life.
