1 note &
If we wish to state who Jesus Christ is, in every separate statement we must also state, or at least make clear - and inexorably so - that we’re speaking of the Lord of heaven and earth, who neither has nor did have any need of heaven or earth or man, who created them out of free love and according to His very own good pleasure, who adopts man, not according to the latter’s merit, but according to his own miraculous power. He is the Lord who in all His action is always Himself entirely and unalterably, in a manner free of all complications or ties, who in His works in the world and on man never ceases in the very slightest to be God, who does not give his glory to another. In this, as Creator, Reconciler and Redeemer, He is a truly loving, serving God. He is the King of all kings just when He enters in to the profoundest hiddenness in “meekness of heart.” This has to be said in every statement we make about Jesus Christ.
