God's Has His Reasons: Redemption
"For
whatever reason God chose to make man as he is — limited and suffering and
subject to sorrows and death — He had the honesty and the courage to take His
own medicine. Whatever game he is playing with His creation, He has kept his
own rules and played fair. He can exact nothing from man that He has not
exacted from Himself. He has Himself gone through the whole of human
experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping
restrictions of hard work and lack of money to the worst horrors of pain and
humiliation, defeat, despair and death. When He was a man, He played the man.
He was born in poverty and died in disgrace and thought it well worthwhile”
(Dorothy Sayers, Creed or Chaos? New York, Harcourt
Brace, 1949, p. 4).
