Diamond In The Dust

He created worlds yet he lay as a helpless babe on Mary's breast ... He walked on water yet he asked a Samaritan woman for a drink ... He fed 5,000 people from 5 loaves and 2 fishes yet he hungered and thirsted in the wilderness ... He radiated the glory of God on the Mount of Transfiguration yet no one could recognize him at the river Jordan ... He brought salvation, comfort and healing to countless numbers of people yet he himself underwent humiliation, pain, suffering and death ...

God on the one hand, man on the other. So wonderfully He became us, never losing His deity. The Wonderful One wrapped in swaddling clothes, a diamond in the dust, a pearl set in clay, hidden yet revealed.

We will have innumerable ages to contemplate His wonders, but how will we ever be able to fully comprehend all the great mysteries of God in Christ? Where can we begin? And it will surely never, ever end.
