Our church has been studying the Heidelberg Catechism on Sunday evenings. This week while looking at Lord's Day 6 and the two natures of Christ I thought I would dig a little deeper and see what much greater minds than mine have written on this topic. Here is a quote from Louis Berkhof in his Systematic Theology book that I think is terrific.
"From the earliest times, and more particularly since the Council of Chalcedon, the Church confessed the doctrine of the two natures of Christ. The Council did not solve the problem presented by a person who was at once human and divine, but only sought to ward off some of the solutions which were offered and were clearly recognized as erroneous. And the Church accepted the doctrine of the two natures in one person, not because it had a complete understanding of the mystery, but because it clearly saw in it a mystery revealed by the Word of God. It was and remained ever since for the Church an article of faith, far beyond human comprehension."
