Chapter XXV.—Concerning the
Appropriation.
It is to be observed2229
| 2229 Max. ad Marin.
in solut. 1 dubit. Theod. |
that there are two appropriations2230
| 2230 Greg. Naz.,
Orat. 36; Athanas., De Salut. adv.
Christi. | : one
that is natural and essential, and one that is personal and
relative. The natural and essential one is that by which our Lord
in His love for man took on Himself our nature and all our natural
attributes, becoming in nature and truth man, and making trial of that
which is natural: but the personal and relative appropriation is
when any one assumes the person of another relatively, for instance,
out of pity or love, and in his place utters words concerning him that
have no connection with himself. And it was in this way that our
Lord appropriated both our curse and our desertion, and such other
things as are not natural: not that He Himself was or became
such, but that He took upon Himself our personality and ranked Himself
as one of us. Such is the meaning in which this phrase is to be
taken: Being made a curse for our sakes2231
