GOD could have sent an angel, a seraph, to redeem man. But, aware that man, had he been redeemed by a seraph, would have had to divide his heart, by partly loving his Creator and partly his redeemer, he who would possess the entire heart and the entire love of man, "wished to be both our Creator and Redeemer."
