Jesus Christ is God in the form of man; as completely God as if he were not man; as completely man as if he were not God.
— A. J. F. Behrends
Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.
— Phillips Brooks

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn’t be a great moral teacher. He’d be either a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he’s a poached egg—or else he’d be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was and is the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse…
— C.S. Lewis
Remember, Christ was not a deified man, neither was He a humanized God. He was perfectly God and at the same time perfectly man.

Christ was not half a God and half a man; he was perfectly God and perfectly man,

Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. He will appear before us as a Jew, lowly born. humbly bred, without the manners of the court or the capital, without the learning of the school, or the culture of the college; a mere peasant, as it were, just like the unlettered workmen of Nazareth. He becomes a preacher, just as Amos the herdsman of Tekoah and multitudes more of His people had done, but He is flouted by the Pharisees, contradicted by the scribes. hated and persecuted by the priests. In a word, He is despised and rejected by the official guardians of religion, and heard gladly by the common people alone. The men He gathers round Him are, like I-himself. without the delicate thought or the fastidious speech. All God’s great works are silent. Light, as it travels, makes no noise, utters no sound to the ear. Creation is a silent process; nature rose under the Almighty hand without clang or noises that distract and disturb. So, when Jesus came, being of God, His coming was lowly.
— John R. W. Stott
