There is an admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies in Jesus Christ:
Infinite glory and lowest humility meet in the person of Christ - He is both lion AND (slain) lamb!
In Christ are conjoined absolute sovereignty & perfect resignation...
In Christ is [conjoined] self-sufficiency and an entire trust an reliance which is on God...
In Christ meet the deepest reverence toward God & equality with God...
In Christ meet an exceeding spirit of obedience with supreme dominion over heaven and earth
[in His greatest act of obedience to God, He was treated as the worst kind of person!]
and finally,
Christ never so much appeared as a lamb as when He was slain.
