Ciii. 31. 4 Phil. Ii. 7. 5 John i. 14. For the Feast of the Annunciation, 73 glory then showed greatest when it corresponded to the depth of His abasement. It is not, however, merely as a "new thing, " or an object of even holy curiosity, that I am dwelling on this subject. My great aim is to promote the love of that fundamental Christian virtue humility ; and this, by showing God's own love for it. He cannot possibly find humility in Himself, the height of His supremacy not allowing of His aba...sement as long as He remains in His own nature : He must always act as God' and hence always be great. Therefore, what He cannot find in Himself he seeks in a nature that is foreign to Him. Why should this infinitely abounding Nature be willing to borrow ? That He may be enriched by humility, which is what the Son of God came into this world to seek. He was made man in order that His Father might behold in His person a God subject to obedience. That this was indeed His purpose we can see for ourselves, in Holy Scripture's words about the first thing He did on entering the world at His sacred Incarnation.
