Who is this man who experienced the climates of both heaven and earth, and even hell (Rom 5:8-9; 1 Pet 3:19)? He encountered pleasure (Mat 9:10) yet suffered agony (Luk 22:44), laughed with joy (Psa 16:9-11) yet wept with sorrow (John 11:35), enjoyed eternity (John 1:1-2) but felt the restraints of time (John 2:4; Mat 26:45), lived in glory (John 17:5) yet drank humiliation (Phil 2:7-8), relished friendship (Mat 3:17) but endured rejection (Mark 15:34), knows perfect holiness (1 John 3:5) yet tasted wretched sinfulness (2 Cor 5:21), practiced loyalty (John 4:34) yet stabbed with betrayal (Luke 22:48), was worshipped by the angels (Heb 1:6) yet treated like a criminal (Mark 14:65), born sinless (1 Pet 2:22), yet had to learn obedience (Heb 5:8).

Who is this paramount of paradoxes? He is Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of Man.
