Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 70—especially explaining that we need a Priest Who can bring us near to God, and Who can atone for sin that is as big as God. Q70. Why do you need Christ as a priest? Because I am guilty. The lesson addresses the theological necessity of a priest by considering human guilt in light of divine holiness. It argues that, even in a state of perfect righteousness, humanity requires a mediator to approach the holy-holy-holy Creator, but the reality of sin further necessitates a priest who is also a Redeemer. Christ is presented as the ultimate mediator, Who offers atoning sacrifice, transforming the certain expectation of divine wrath into unassailable expectation of favor and blessing. The central message emphasizes that access to God is secured not by human merit, but by the consecrating work of Christ as the High Priest who bridges the gap between the sinner and the Holy.

God suits men to minister His Word to His people, and sustains them in it. And He suits you, also, to the way that He will use you, and sustains you in it.
