In order that Jesus Christ, being appointed, should be fit for his office, it was necessary that he should become man.
Man had sinned, and man must make reparation to the broken law.
God would not accept an angel as a substitute, for the law had to do with man, and as the race had revolted, it must be through one of the race that God’s justice should be vindicated.
But Jesus was God: how then could he become our Savior?
Behold the mystery! God was manifest in the flesh.
He descended to the manger of Bethlehem, he nestled in a woman’s bosom; for as the children were partakers of flesh and blood he himself also took part in the same.
Sinner, behold your incarnate God, the Eternal one, dwells among dying men, veiled in their mortal flesh, that he may save men.
This is the greatest fact ever related in human ears. We hear it as a common thing, but the angels have never ceased to wonder since first they sang of it and charmed the listening shepherds.
God has come down to man to lift man up to God. Surely it is the sin of sins if we reject a Savior who has made such a stoop in order to be perfectly qualified to save.
From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "The Savior You Need," delivered May 10, 1874
