The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us

June 29, 1964

He was a noble king, a great lover of his subjects, so much til' one day he called his guard and nobles and said, "Today, you see me for your last time, for many years." He had made the choice to go out amongst his subjects and live as a peasant. He wanted to cut wood with the wood chopper, till ground with the toiler, prune vines with those who prune vines; so that he could become personally acquainted with the people he loved so much.

The following morning, his delegates and those in the palace watched him take off his crown and lay it upon the throne. He removed his robe and put on peasant's clothes, and walked out amongst his people. They wanted him to remain king in the palace, but he wanted to become one of them, to know them better, that they would know him better. It would display to them what he really was.

"...that's what God did. He--He changed Himself, from being Jehovah God, to become one of us, that He might suffer, He might taste death, He might know what the sting of death was, and take the penalty of death upon Himself. He laid aside His--His crown and His robe, and became one of us. He washed feet with the--with the--the lowly. He dwelt in the tents, with the poor. He slept in the--the woods and in the streets, with those who were underprivileged. He become one of us, that He might understand us better, and that we might understand Him better."

The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us is a masterful sermon that portrays how He was not just an ordinary man. "He was God, en morphe." He was changed from the supernatural into the natural form of a Man, manifested in the flesh, veiled by a human. But thanks be to God, He was revealed to us, babes such as would learn.
