Stupendous Incarnation

Is it not stupendous for God to become man, for him who was from eternity to be made in time, for him who is omnipotent to be subjected to human weaknesses, for him who fills heaven and earth to be enclosed in the womb of a virgin, for him who has neither father, nor mother, nor genealogy, yet to acknowledge both a father, and a mother, and a genealogy?
