Answ. There are so many wonders that meet together in Christ, that tis no wonder at all, that he should have this name, wonderful. Christ was every way wonderful. He was wonderful in his Person; wonderful in his Passion. Wonderful in his Conception, being conceived by the power of the holy Ghost: wonderful in his Birth, being born of a pure virgin: wonderful in his Life; wonderful in his death, and the effects of it: wonderful in his Resurrection, that a dead person ⟨p. 186⟩should be raised and that by his own power: wonderful in his Ascension. In a word he was every way wonderful: wonderful in his Humiliation and Exaltation.
Ah Christians if you would see a wonder, look upon Christ, and here see a wonder, here is a wonder, above all that the world can show. There are two sorts of wonders that God hath to show, the wonder of his power; and the wonder of his grace.

First, The wonder of his Power. What a wonder is it, to see such a fabric as heaven and earth, all come out of nothing by the power of God. Christians 'tis a great evil in us that we do no more wonder at this great power. What a wonder is the Sun, in its bigness and brightness, flying many Millions of miles in a minute of an hour!
