Despite the thousands of years of inspired utterance and scholastic studies, there remained a mystery which no eye had seen, no ear had heard – a mystery beyond the capability of any imagination!
No one except God could ever have conceived such a plan: Eternity would enter time; the infinite would enter space. God would become a man!
The Word, the expression of God, the exact representation of God became flesh! This was no half-hearted attempt by which God simply disguised Himself in a human body. This was a permanent commitment by which God forever joined Himself to humanity – His eternal destiny bound up in the destiny of man. He became man in the fullest sense possible and would remain a man forever. (Extract from Chapter 5: Incarnation)
