SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Athanasius
DESCRIPTION:From the writing of \nST ATHANASIUS \n◊◊◊ \nIt is not a dark saying but a divine mystery. “In the beginning was the \nWord\, and the Word was with God\, and the Word was God”; but for our sakes \nafterwards the “Word was made flesh.” And the term in question\, “highly \nexalted”\, does not signify that the substance of the Word was exalted\, for He was \never and is “equal to God”\, but the exaltation is of His humanity. Accordingly\, \nthis is not said before the Word became flesh; that it might be plain that \n“humbled” and “exalted” are spoken of His human nature\, for where there is \nhumble estate\, there too may be exaltation; and if because of His taking flesh \n“humbled” is written\, it is clear that “highly exalted” is also said because of it… \nSince then the Word\, being the Image of the Father and immortal\, took \nthe form of a servant\, and as man underwent for us death in His flesh\, that \nthereby He might offer Himself for us through death to the Father; therefore \nalso\, as man\, He is said because of us and for us to be highly exalted\, that as by \nHis death we all died in Christ\, so again in the Christ Himself we might be highly \nexalted\, being raised from the dead\, and ascending into heaven… \nBut if now for us the Christ is entered into heaven itself\, though He was \neven before and always Lord and Framer of the heavens\, for us therefore is that \npresent exaltation also written. And as He Himself\, who sanctifies all\, says also \nthat He sanctifies Himself to the Father for our sake\, not that the Word may \nbecome holy\, but that He Himself may in Himself sanctify all of us\, in like \nmanner we must take the present phrase\, “He highly exalted Him”\, not that He \nHimself should be exalted\, for He is the highest\, but that He may become \nrighteousness for us; and we may be exalted in Him\, and that we may enter the \ngates of heaven\, which He has also opened for us\, the forerunners saying\, “Lift \nup your heads\, O ye gates\, and be ye lift up\, ye everlasting doors\, and the King of \nGlory shall come in.” For here also not on Him were shut the gates\, who is Lord \nand Maker of all\, but because of us is this too written\, to whom the door of \nparadise was shut. \nAnd therefore in a human relation\, because of the flesh which He bore\, it \nis said of Him\, “Lift up\, O ye gates”\, and “shall come in”\, as if humanity were \nentering; but in a divine relation on the other hand it is said of Him\, since the \n“Word was God”\, that He is the “Lord” and the “King of Glory”. For as Christ \ndied and was exalted as man\, so\, as man\, is He said to take what\, as God He ever \nhad\, that even this so high a grant of grace might reach to us.
