May each of us have a worshipful Christmas, remembering our Saviour "veiled in flesh, the Godhead, see...."
A quote from C.H. Spurgeon....................
"Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given." As Jesus Christ is a child in his human nature, he is born, begotten of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary. He is as truly-born, as certainly a child, as any other man that ever lived upon the face of the earth. He is thus in his humanity a child born.But as Jesus Christ is God's Son, he is not born; but given, begotten of his Father from before all worlds, begotten--not made, being of the same substance with the Father.
The doctrine of the eternal affiliation of Christ is to be received as an undoubted truth of our holy religion.
But as to any explanation of it, no man should venture thereon, for it remaineth among the deep things of God--one of those solemn mysteries indeed, into which the angels dare not look, nor do they desire to pry into it--a mystery which we must not attempt to fathom, for it is utterly beyond the grasp of any finite being.
As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God.
A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp him he could not be infinite: if we could understand him, then were he not divine."
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th'incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
