Christ,
as he is God, is infinitely great and high above all.
He is
higher than the kings of the earth,for he is King of kings, and Lord of lords.
He is
higher than the heavens, and higher than the highest angels of heaven.
So great
is he, that all men, all kings and princes, are as worms of the dust before
him.
All
nations are as the drop of the bucket, and the light dust of the balance, yes,
and angels themselves are as nothing before him. He is so high, that he is
infinitely above any need of us, so above our reach that we cannot be
profitable to him, and so above our conceptions that we cannot comprehend him.
Christ is
the Creator and great Possessor of heaven and earth.
He is
sovereign Lord of all!
He rules
over the whole universe, and does whatsoever pleases him.
His
knowledge is without bound.
His
wisdom is perfect, and what none can circumvent.
His power
is infinite, and none can resist him.
His
riches are immense and inexhaustible.
His
majesty is infinitely full of awe.
Yet, his
condescension is sufficient to take a gracious notice of the most unworthy,
sinful creatures, those that have no good deservings, and those that have
infinite ill-deservings.
The above
article was by Jonathan Edwards, from his sermon, "The Excellency of Jesus
Christ"
