Irenaeus: like us

Saturday, December 24, 2011
    Christmas Eve
Meditation:
    Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
    —1 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Our Lord Jesus Christ, the word of God, of his boundless love, became what we are that he might make us what he himself is.
    ... Irenaeus (c.130-c.200), from Adversus Haereses, v. praef. (ad fin.), in The Early Christian Fathers, Henry Scowcroft Bettenson, London: Oxford University Press, 1969, p. 106 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are one of us.
