God gives of himself...

Speaking on the incarnation and redemption of the Son, L. Charles Jackson says,

"The power of the gospel is brilliantly enhanced when we are able to say that God did not merely give some being similar to Himself. No, when God gave His only begotten Son on the cross for sinners, He gave Himself to us. We don't get a part of God in the giving of Jesus, we get God Himself. This illuminates something of the beauty of the biblical title Emmanuel, which means 'God with us.' We have a sure salvation because we have God with us."
