JESUS

'When people object, as you do, that if Jesus was God as well as Man, then He had an unfair advantage which deprives Him for them of all value, it seems to me as if a man struggling in the water shd refuse a rope thrown him by another who had one foot on the bank, saying "Oh but you have an unfair advantage"; it is because of that advantage that He can help.'
CS Lewis in Walter Hooper (Ed.), The Collected Letters of CS Lewis Vol III, p.143.
