An adaptation of the Catechism for Young Children in modern English.

Question: How could the Son of God suffer?
Answer: Christ, the Son of God, became man that he might obey and suffer in our nature.
Originally question 47, reordered for better flow of thought. This question is reinterpreted as answering an “objection” to question 47, as such the question adds the phrase “and die” to match “suffering and dying” from the previous question. Addtionally, the answer is a bit wordy, so the Lord’s titles are omited, along with other small cleaning.
