The Prayer of Confession
[Take a moment to silently confess you sins and unbelief…Amen.]
The Assurance of Pardon (Unison)
Psalm 32:5
I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
The Reading of Scripture
Job 11
Pew Bible Page 423
§ The Confession of Faith Heidelberg Catechism Question #16-19
Leader: Why must the Mediator be a true and righteous human?
People: God’s justice demands that human nature, which has sinned, must pay for sin; but a sinful human could never pay for others.
Leader: Why must the Mediator also be true God?
People: So that the Mediator, by the power of His divinity, might bear the weight of God’s wrath in His humanity and earn for us and restore to us righteousness and life.
Leader: Then who is this Mediator—true God and at the same time a true and righteous human?
People: Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who was given to us to completely deliver us and make us right with God.
Leader: How do you come to know this?
People: The holy Gospel tells me. God began to reveal the Gospel already in Paradise; later God proclaimed it by the holy patriarchs and prophets and foreshadowed it by the sacrifices and other ceremonies of the law; and finally God fulfilled it through His own beloved Son.
