Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Expositions the Book of Psalms, Vol. 5 of 6 Have these so great riches come to this? The former state is a very high one, this is a very lowly one. What shall we do? How shall we reconcile these low things with those high ones? They are too far from one another? I do not as yet recognize this poor man: he is possibly some one else; but let us still seek. For as to the reason why He appeareth not the same unto us, it is wonderful if thou dost ask, and does not dread His riches. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All thing made that was made. He who said this, while he was saying it, was rich; how much more rich He of Whom he said, "In the beginning was the Word:" and not any word, but the "Word that was God:" and not any where only, but "with God:" and not inactive, but "by whom all things were made?" Did He eat ashes as it were bread: and mingle His drink with weeping? It is to be feared lest our poverty do injury to so great riches. Yet still examine whether this poor man be He; since, The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. Reflect also upon these words: I am thy servant, and the Son of Thine handmaid. Observe, this handmaid, chaste, a virgin, and a mother: for there He received our poverty, when He was clothed in the form of a servant, emptying Himself; lest thou shouldest dread His riches, and in thy beggarly state shouldest not dare His riches, and in thy beggarly state shouldest not dare approach Him. There, I say, He put on the form of a servant, there He was clothed with our poverty; there He made Himself poor, and us rich. We are now drawing near to understand these things of Him: nevertheless we may not as yet rashly pronounce. The offspring of a virgin was the stone hewn from the hills without hands, where no man labored: where was no concupiscence handed down, but faith alone was lit up, and the Flesh of the Word conceived. Then He came forth from the womb: the star drew the Magi to worship the King; Simeon, filled with the Holy Ghost, recognized the infant God in His Mother´s hands. Age came, not to His Divinity, but to his flesh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
