CQOD: 11/01/07 -- St. Hilary: the death of death

Christian Quotation of the Day

November 1, 2007

Feast of All Saints

Meditation:
    For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
    -- 1 Corinthians 15:21 (NIV)

Quotation:
    He took upon Him the flesh in which we have sinned, that by wearing our flesh He might forgive sins; a flesh which He shares with us by wearing it, not by sinning in it. He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. [Continued tomorrow]
    ... St. Hilary (ca. 300-367?), On the Trinity

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You have conquered death forever.
