I was reading John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion" last night and this quote stuck out to me. It was in Volume 1, Chapter VI, Section 4
"Irenaeus writes that the Father, himself infinite, becomes finite in the Son, for he has accommodated himself to our little measure lest our minds be overwhelmed by the immensity of his glory."
As Christians we too often make God to small because our minds can't comprehend his awesomeness.
