Spurgeon: “There was greater glory among the oxen”

Think for a minute of Christ’s person as revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

What can more glorify him than for us to see his person, very God of very God, and yet as truly man? What a wondrous being, as human as ourselves, but as divine as God!

Was there ever another like to him? Never.

Think of his incarnation, his birth at Bethlehem. There was greater glory among the oxen in the stall than ever was seen where those born in marble halls were swathed in purple and fine linen.

Was there ever another babe like Christ? Never.

I wonder not that the wise men fell down to worship him.

—from Spurgeon‘s sermon “The Holy Spirit’s Chief Office”
