He became the kind of man we do not want to be: ECCE HOMO! Behold the Man! is not a statement which arises from the confirmation of our humanity and is made on the basis of like is known by like; it is a confession of faith which recognizes God's humanity in the dehumanized Christ on the the cross...
God is not greater than he is in this humiliation. God is not more glorious than he is in this self-surrender. God is not more powerful than he is in this helplessness. God is not more divine than he is in this humanity. The center of everything that Christian theology says about God is discovered in this event.
J. Moltmann, Crucified God.
