The Almighty God became human to live and move in human frailty. The Creator himself became a creature without ceasing to be the Creator.  The high and holy one stooping to become little and low without ceasing to be who is in majesty. This does not mean a reduction of his power.  It Rather means the expression of his power within human weakness.  In Jesus, the God-Human, God reveals himself as the one who has the inconceivable power of becoming little and low while remaining what he is eternally as majestic and all-powerful Lord. 

This God who became one of us also tasted death.  In doing so he destroyed its power for his death was the death of death. In weakness, he shows his lordship over death.  He demonstrated God’s distinctive power in weakness and suffering on the cross.  This power is so unique that we cannot describe it by comparing it to any other kind of power. 

In Jesus, the God-Human we see God in the highest acting from the lowest, becoming what we are in our lost and hopeless condition to reconcile us to God in himself. In him, we see the triumph of divine Love and Light over all darkness and evil.  

We do not learn what omnipotence is by abstract speculation magnifying human power to the nth degree.  We rather see God’s power as we gaze on his power in weakness demonstrated in the God-Man on the cross. There we encounter the revelation of God’s distinctive kind of power that is, the very opposite of what we would think or could ever imagine.
