God’s love for mankind was reflected in the Son to such an extent that as wisdom personified, he could say: “The things I was fond of were with the sons of men. ” ​ — Prov.
وَقَدْ عَكَسَ هذَا ٱلِٱبْنُ مَحَبَّةَ ٱللهِ لِلْبَشَرِ بِحَيْثُ تَمَكَّنَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ بِصِفَتِهِ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ ٱلْمُجَسَّمَةَ :‏ « لَذَّاتِي مَعَ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ » .‏ —‏ ام ٨ :‏ ٢٢ ،‏ ٣١‏ .‏
