The Nicene Creed speaks of Jesus as “begotten, not made.” What does that mean, and why does it matter? Pastor John joins us today over Skype remotely, even though today’s question comes in from a pastor not far from you. “Pastor John, hello! I pastor a small congregation in Minneapolis. As we endured the inability to gather in person as a congregation in the midst of the virus, I emailed the church weekly, slowly working through the questions in the New City Catechism.

And why does it matter so much?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/why-does-it-matter-that-christ-was-begotten-not-made Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
