Q.40. Why did the mediator have to be God and human in one person?

A. The mediator, who was to reconcile God and humanity, had to be himself both God and human and in one person to make the works appropriate to each nature acceptable to God on our behalf[1] and counted on by us as the works of the whole person.[2]
