“The little babe of Bethlehem was also the Ancient of Days. The infant who was rocked in that peasant woman’s arms was, at that very moment, upholding all things by the word of His power. The child who was learning the Hebrew alphabet was the Alphabet (Rev. 1:8). He was the incarnate Word, the Word that spoke the far-flung universe into being. That Boy discussing doctrine with the doctors in the temple courts was the One whose fingers wrote the Decalogue for Moses on two tablets of stone. That Man, graciously accepting the present of a little boy’s lunch, could easily have created a galaxy of gold” (John Phillips, commentary on Jude). Comments are closed.
