9. And this you will remember that this condition of Christ was not supervened upon him by an arbitrary appointment, it was an essential part of a great plan originating in the wisdom and justice of God for the manifestation of his glory in the redemption of the world. The reason is made clear and grand in these words - "Although he was rich yet for our sakes". Yes, see the reason for Gods singular plan. "for our sakes he became poor. that we through hims poverty might become rich." In Childhood, he was dependent like other children upon others, and subject as are they to inattention, neglect, awkwardness and ignorance. And even when he grew up to be a man. his condition seemed to be in nowise changed from that of others. He was doomed to an occupation. To gather the necessities of life by the work of his family.
