The mere fact of my manness should be an everlasting joy and delight. To take joy in that which I am made to be by my Creator, is to open my heart to restoration by my Redeemer. And it is to taste the first fruits of redemption and restoration. So pure is the joy of being man that those whose Christian understanding is weak may even take this to be the joy of being something other than man–an angel or something. But God did not become an angel. He became man.
