God's Humilty and Our Pride

One more quote from Wells.
Scripture is not only authoritative. It is the Word of God. It is the way God, in all his magnificent glory, as it were, hides himself in very human words in order that we might be able to stand in his presence, listen to him, and learn. It speaks to his humility that his greatness should be so cloaked that we can bear it. It speaks to our pride that we have turned away from hearing him, abandoning serious preaching in our churches. (230)
