As weakness itself

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus,
rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason,
nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus,
the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion
of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding
of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ,
but only something about him, something peripheral to the
actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty
God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of
the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter
nothing, in order that we would be forced into the crucial
decision about him alone and would not be able to worship
anything about him.
