Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the fl esh. 1 Timothy 3:16a
Human intellect is quite incapable of grasping the union between Christ’s deity and humanity, and there we must rest. The link between His humanity and His deity is seamless, and we cannot begin to isolate the one from the other for any reason. He was at one and the same time God, and perfect Man. If we begin to divide Him into two diff erent parts— the human and the divine—before long we will find ourselves in the quicksands of error. We must always keep in mind, that even as He trod the scenes of time, He was “upholding all things by the word of His power”. (Heb. 1:3) —W. H. Burnett
But the high mysteries of His name, the creatures’ grasp transcend,
The Father only, glorious claim, the Son can comprehend. —Josiah Conder
