Christ was not ashamed of us at His incarnation. To be sure He had many reasons to be. For He, Himself, was the only begotten of the Father, of one essence and glory with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, yea, the brightness of the Father’s glory and the express image of His person — who thought it not robbery to be equal with God. And we were laden with guilt, unclean from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet, and subject to corruption. But still He was not ashamed to call us brothers. He was ashamed of us neither before God nor before the Holy Angels. He accepted our flesh and blood, went in unto our nature became like unto us in everything, sin only excepted. And even God was not ashamed to be called our God in Christ.
