Behold, the infinite love of Christ. Had not he been made flesh, we would have been made a curse. Had he not been incarnate, we would have been incarcerated and had been forever in the prison of hell. Consider where Jesus came from. He came from heaven and from the richest place in heaven, his father's bosom, that hive of sweetness. Consider for whom Jesus came, was it to his friends? No. He came for sinful man who had defaced his image and abused his love and rebelled against Him. Yet He came to man resolving to conquer our obstinacy with His kindness. If He would come to any, why not to the fallen angels? The angels are of a more noble origin, are more intelligent creatures and more able for service. But behold, the love of Christ. He did not come for the fallen angels, but to sinful mankind. Among the several wonders of the magnet is that it will not draw gold or pearl, but despising these, it draws the iron to itself, one of the most inferior metals. Just so, Christ leaves angels, those noble spirits, the gold and the pearl, and comes to poor sinful man and draws him into his eternal embraces. Thomas Watson.
