|
Part 10,
On the Incarnation of the Word,
Athanasius of Alexandria, c. 318. |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "He
proves moreover by other arguments why it suited the Son
of God who is true God (as he proved a little before) to
become man nonetheless, subject to all miseries, with the
exception of sin." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Whatever the proud, carnal, and
unbelieving may imagine or object, the spiritual mind will see peculiar
glory in the cross of Christ, and be satisfied that it became Him, who in
all things displays his own perfections in bringing many sons to glory, to
make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "Various afflictions indeed may be made
subservient to this; and so far as they are blessed to the weaning us from
sin, and causing our affections to be set on things above, so far they do
indirectly help on our sanctification." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "'He
who suffers for another, not only benefits him, but becomes himself the
brighter and more perfect' [CHRYSOSTOM]." |
|
| From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "To be our high priest he must be in
full sympathy with us, having experienced our trials and our sufferings." |

|
Commentary,
Hebrews 2:10-18, Craig R. Koester, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2007.
| "This passage offers four ways of
looking at Jesus and ourselves. When preaching, ask who you are
preaching to: people in need of a future, people in need of
belonging, people held captive by powers beyond themselves or
sinners in need of atonement?" |
|

"First
Thoughts on Year A Epistle Passages in the Lectionary:
Christmas 1," William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "The author ... brings us back from a
way of thinking about Christ or God which could remain obsessed with
images of power and glory and remoteness. God is engaged with us where we
are - and wherever we are on the journey." |

"The
Destruction of Death," Paul Tillich, from The Shaking of the Foundations,
1955. At Religion Online.
| "The darkness into which the light of Christmas shines is above all the
darkness of death. The threat of death, which shadows the whole road of our life, is the
dark background of the Advent expectation of mankind. Death is not merely the scissors
which cuts the thread of our life, as a famous ancient symbol indicates. It is rather one
of those threads which are woven into the design of our existence, from its very beginning
to its end." |
