This is the grace of the Lord, and these are the Lord’s means of restoration for the children of men. For He suffered to prepare freedom from suffering for those who suffer in Him; He descended that He might raise us up; He took on Him the trial of being born that we might love Him who is uncreated; He went down to corruption, that corruption might put on immortality.
