Christmas and the cross

Weake enough to suffer woe

December 15, 2009December 15, 2009 Tony Reinke Christmas and the cross, spurgeon

…And Iacob came cloth’d in vile harsh attire
But to supplant, and with gainfull intent
God cloth’d himselfe in vile mans flesh, that so
Hee might be weake enough to suffer woe.

—John Donne, Holy Sonnets, closing lines of No. 7.
