Martin Luther

On the Divinity and Humanity of Christ

Chapter 13

Argument: Paul says: Christ was made a curse. Therefore by the same principle it could be said: Christ was made humanity.

Response: Rather than analogy, we must follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and as he himself prescribes, so we must speak. That Christ was made a curse for us, there signifies something truly concrete, that is, Christ was made a sacrifice, a victim for us.
