If God is the One Necessity and we are Contingent,* how beautiful is it that He loves us? More than a lion loving a lamb; more than angel loving mortal—this is all-power loving all-frailty. What then did the universe hear screamed when the Necessary, who cannot be destroyed, submitted Himself to bear the weight of our destruction? There is glory here that finite beings cannot see…because we don't know how to feels to be both First Mover, and moved.
*essentially, unnecessary for the universe' existence, and dependent upon the prime mover to set everything in motion.
