Simply Put…

I couldn’t help but stop and reread these words.  These few short sentences create a glimpse of the reverence and appreciation we should have for such an uncomparable God:

“Everything in Christ astonishes me.  His spirit overawes me, and his will confounds me.  Between him and whoever else in the world, there is no possible term of comparison.  He is truly a being by himself….I search in vain in history to find the simlar to Jesus Christ, or anything which can approach the gospel.  Neither history, nor humanity, nor the ages, nor nature, offer me anything with which I am able to compare it or to explain it.  Here everything is extraordinary.”
