None but the Son of God could accomplish our redemption; for only He who was in the bosom of the Father could declare Him. Only He (Jesus Christ) who knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it manifest.
Nothing less than the infinite sacrifice made by Christ in behalf of fallen Man could express the Father's love to lost Humanity.
...Christ was to identify Himself with the interests and needs of humanity. He (Jesus Christ) who was one with God has linked Himself with the children of men by ties that are never to
be broken. Jesus is "not ashamed to call them brethren (family).". Hebrews 2:11.
He is our Sacrifice, our Advocate, our Brother, bearing our human form before the Father's throne. And through eternal ages one with the race He has redeemed - the Son of Man.
And all this that Man/Woman might be uplifted from the degradation and ruin of
sin, that he/she might reflect the love of God and share the joy of holiness.
