Quest. How it came about that Christ was made flesh?

:907p. 111

Resp. It was by his Fathers special designation, Gal. 4.4. God sent forth his Son made of a Woman. God the Father did in a special manner appoint Christ to be Incarnate; which shows us how needful a Call is to any business of weight and importance: to act without a Call, is to act without a Blessing. Christ himself would not be Incarnate, and take upon him the work of a Mediator, till he had a Call. God sent forth his Son made of a Woman.
