Unto Us A Child Is Born
The meanest estate wasn't in His fragility as a "babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger" (Luk. 2:16), but in the Son of God, made sin, wrapped in sins swaddling iniquity and deaths grip, hanging on the Cross of Calvary.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
{Isaiah 9:6}
It is certain there is none like God, nor any that can be likened to Him. "To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto Him? (Isa. 40:18)" "To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. (Isa. 40:25)" "To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? (Isa. 46:5)" Verily, one of the ways God has shown the beauties of His holiness is by the incarnation.
The "same love", "one accord", and "one mind" the church is to have is dependent upon their Head, the Lord Jesus Christ. The mind of Christ is the sufficiency of the members of His body to "be likeminded". "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus" is one of the body of Christ's godly mantras. Yet, what is the disposition of this mind? What constitutes His mind? What is the fabric of such beauty?
