för att Han skulle veta hur det känns

Jag vet inte om ni läser såna här bokcitat som dyker upp här, men tänker citera ändå för jag vet inte när jag sist läst en så här bra bok. Läs och så kan ni tänka “jag ska nog läsa den där boken!” och så kan ni läsa den.

It boggles the mind. The eternal Son of God, ”Light of Light, Very God of Very God… one substance with the Father,” spent nine months developing in Mary’s uterus. Jesus passed through her birth canal. He had to learn to walk. The Word of God had to learn to talk. He who called the stars by name had to learn the names of everything, just as you did. “This is a cup. Can you say cup? Cuuup.”

For ages upon ages, his generous hand fed every creature on earth; now it is he that has to be fed. […] The Son of God doesn’t even know how to tie his shoes. Someone had to teach him how to tie those sandals John the Baptist said none of us were worthy to untie. “The rabbit goes around the tree and down through the hole…like that. Now you try it.” Picture seven-year-old Jesus in the shop out back, learning from Joseph how to use a hammer and a saw. He who hung galaxies in such perfect poise, like a hundred billion mobiles, has to be shown how to nail two boards together.

I take my shoes off. The humility of this is beyond words.
