"Some have said that the power of a Redeemer would depend upon two things: first, upon the richness of the self that was given; and second, upon the depths of the giving. Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ"

In this quote, E. Stanley Jones is talking about the concept of a Redeemer and the aspects that determine their power. According to him, the power of a Redeemer depends on two things: the richness of the self that was offered and the depths of the providing. Simply put, a Redeemer should have a strong and virtuous character, and want to make fantastic sacrifices for the sake of others. Jones goes on to state that both pals and enemies of Jesus Christ agree that he had these qualities and was for that reason an effective Redeemer. In general, this quote suggests that true power comes not from physical strength or product ownerships, however from inner goodness and selflessness.
