As I was reading Scot McKnight's blog earlier this week in which he included a post by Jonathan Storment, I came across this quote from Dorothy Sayers that Jonathan Storment includes. It's a timely reminder of what Jesus suffered in His incarnation as He took our sins upon Himself.
"For whatever reason God chose to make man as he is— limited and
suffering and subject to sorrows and death—He had the honesty and the
courage to take His own medicine. Whatever game He is playing with His
creation, He has kept His own rules and played fair. He can exact
nothing from man that He has not exacted from Himself. He has Himself
gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations
of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of
money to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair and
death. When He was a man, He played the man. He was born in poverty and
died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile." –Dorothy Sayers
