| 4902 This extract had already been printed by
M. Pitra in his Spicilegium Solesmense, p. 6. | sacred
books acknowledge with regard to Christ, that as He is the Son of man, so
is the same Being not a [mere] man; and as He is flesh, so is He also
spirit, and the Word of God, and God. And as He was born of Mary in the
last times, so did He also proceed from God as the First-begotten of
every creature; and as He hungered, so did He satisfy [others]; and as He
thirsted, so did He of old cause the Jews to drink, for the “Rock
was Christ”4903
Himself: thus does Jesus
now give to His believing people power to drink spiritual waters, which
spring up to life eternal.4904
And as He
was the son of David, so was He also the Lord of David. And as He was
from Abraham, so did He also exist before Abraham.4905
And as He was the servant of God, so is He the Son of God, and
Lord of the universe. And as He was spit upon ignominiously, so also did
He breathe the Holy Spirit into His disciples.4906
And as He was saddened, so also did He give joy to His people.
And as He was capable of being handled and touched, so again did He, in a
non-apprehensible form, pass through the midst of those who sought to
injure Him,4907
and entered without
impediment through closed doors.4908
And as He
slept, so did He also rule the sea, the winds, and the storms. And as He
suffered, so also is He alive, and life-giving, and healing all our
infirmity. And as He died, so is He also the Resurrection of the dead. He
suffered shame on earth, while He is higher than all glory and praise in
heaven; who, “though He was crucified through weakness, yet He
liveth by divine power;”4909
who
“descended into the lower parts of the earth,” and who
“ascended up above the heavens;”4910
for whom a manger
sufficed, yet who filled all
things; who was dead, yet who liveth for ever and ever. Amen.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
