If I might comprehend Jesus Christ, I could not believe on Him. He would be no greater than myself. Such is my consciousness of sin and inability that I must have a superhuman Saviour.

The speaker frames Christian faith as necessarily oriented toward transcendence: if Christ were fully graspable by human reason, he would be merely human-sized and therefore unworthy of worship. The second movement shifts from epistemology to moral psychology—an acute awareness of personal sin and incapacity becomes the ground for needing a savior who is more than exemplary or instructive. The quote thus rejects a purely rationalist or moralistic Christianity in favor of a theology of grace, where salvation requires divine initiative. Its rhetoric also implies humility: the limits of comprehension are not a defect but a condition for genuine faith.
