O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways! (Romans 11:33)
"He stooped down to us, that He might raise up a people who before lay prone. He was wounded, that He might heal our wounds. He became Himself a servant, that He might deliver the enslaved. He submitted to death, that He might confer immortality on mortal men."
