In another place, when referring to the Messiah, he says,--
"He has, in one word, adapted himself to your circumstances. It was in all the defective and sinful parts of your history that he was likely to be the least capable of affording to you succour or supply. It was in the pity that your misery demanded; in the forbearance that your propensity to crime required; in the minute example that your dulness called for; in the suffering which was necessary for your deliverance; that there was apparently the greatest occasion to the sinner for apprehension and fear. But all these parts of the condition of the human fallen, their Redeemer has met in a manner which bespeaks wisdom the most amazing, benevolence that defies adequate admiration. With the view that has been given of Jesus Christ, in this essay, we cannot reasonably allow ourselves to be subject to despondency; for finite, little, imperfect, diminutive, frail, occupying so small a portion of creation as we are, we cannot possibly despair of being complete in Him, in whom dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Oh, let us then unite ourselves to Him in the bond of a covenant which can never be dissolved." p. 321.
Towards the close of the 16th essay, he exclaims:
"Oh, what honour is accumulating in the world above! We inform them of a morning which is not to be succeeded by night; of a subjection which is more illustrious than all the victories that the universe will have ever before beheld; of a finite nature which is clothed with eternal and uncreated light; of the very last of all the complicated actions belonging to the redemption of the world; when Jesus Christ shall bring before his Father the millions that He has saved from every species and degree of crime and degradation, for the purpose of introducing them to everlasting fellowship with Jehovah; and when _He_ shall become subject, to whom perpetual supremacy belongs, in order that He may show to saints and angels what has been the greatness of His humiliation, and how unutterable is the grandeur of God; since when He has risen from infancy in Bethlehem on earth, to a degree of strength, of lustre, of possession, and of renown, which all created capacity is inadequate to comprehend, the next degree of glory above this, is an act of voluntary subjection to his heavenly Father; which the honours of the supreme throne, and the laws of infinite existence, require." p. 365.
