The astonishing wonder of the whole world!',

Back to John Flavel's "The Method of Grace"

---

How wonderful was the love of Christ the Lord of 
glory—to be so abased and humbled for us vile 
and sinful dust! It is astonishing to conceive that 
ever Jesus Christ should strip Himself of His robes 
of glory—to clothe Himself with the lowly garment 
of our flesh. If the sun had been turned into a 
wandering atom, if the most glorious angel in 
heaven had been transformed even into a fly—it 
would be nothing compared to the abasement of 
the Lord of glory. This act of Christ's love, is the 
astonishing wonder of the whole world!
