("http://www.gracegems.org/Books2/Macduff.htm" John MacDuff, "Clefts of the Rock" 1874)</em>

"So the Word became human and lived 
here on earth among us." John 1:14

What a transition! 

What a stoop for that Infinite Being who proclaimed
Himself the Alpha and the Omega; for "The Ancient 
of days" to assume the nature and take the form of 
a cradled infant, sleeping on a virgin mother's breast!

We have no plumb line to sound the depths of that 
humiliation. We have no arithmetic by which it can 
be submitted to any process of calculation. 

If we can entertain for a moment the shocking 
supposition of the loftiest created spirit in heaven 
abjuring his angel nature, and becoming an insect 
or a worm; we can, in some feeble degree, estimate 
the descent involved in the transformation. 

But, for the Illimitable, Everlasting Jehovah, 
Himself to become incarnate . . .
the Creator, to take the nature of the created; 
the Infinite, to be joined with the finite; 
Deity, to be linked with dust;
this baffles all our comprehension! 

We can only lie in adoring reverence, and 
exclaim with the apostle, "O the depth!" 

"Wonder, O heavens, and be astonished, O earth!"
