On the incarnation
The Second Person in God, the Son, became human Himself: was born into the world /as an actual man
—a real man of a particular height, with hair of a particular colour, speaking a particular language, weighing so many stone.
The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby,
and before that a foetus inside a Woman’s body.
If you want to get the hang of it, think [how you would like to become a slug or a crab].
* stone; pl. stone Abbr. st. A unit of weight in Great Britain, 14 pounds (6.4 kilograms).
* get the hang of; Learn the proper way of doing, using or handling something; acquire the knack of something.
성자 하나님께서 인간이 되신걸 잘 이해하려면
우리가 지렁이나 게로 되는걸 상상해보면 된다 (달팽이로 하면 덜 징그러우나 slug 은 징그러운감이라 지렁이로 함)
(단 우리는 지렁이로 태어날 수 없지만 만능의 하나님이시기에 가능하시다)
