Maker of Man Was Made Man

By Jeff Brewer On August 26, 2010 · Add Comment
Todd Augustine showed me this quote today from Augustine (how ironic, eh?).  What glories are found in Christ! “The Maker of man was made man…that bread might hunger; the spring (or fountain) might thirst; the light might sleep; the way might be weary in his journey; that the truth might be hidden by false witnesses; [...]
