Q.39. Why did the mediator have to be human?

A. The mediator had to be human so that he might improve human nature,[1] obey the law,[2] suffer and make intercession for us in our own nature,[3] and know first hand what human infirmities feel like;[4] and so that we might be adopted as sons[5] and have comfort and access with boldness to the throne of grace.[6]
