Вочеловечение Христа
Machine translation from the original · Show original
The Eternal Word - the Son of God - by the power of His creativity made flesh for Himself in the womb of the Virgin: the God-Man was conceived and the God-Man was born. The Son by Divine nature became a son by human nature. Jesus Christ was born from the Virgin, one Person in two inseparable and unfused natures - Divine and human. The Divine nature, despite Its infinity, did not destroy human nature, and human nature, despite its unfused existence, did not in the least constrain the infinity of the Divine nature. Such a wonderful union, accepted by faith and the spiritual mind generated by it, 39 incomprehensible to the carnal and spiritual mind, was produced by the omnipotence of the Divine.
The Lord who became man had all the attributes of man: spirit, soul and body. The name of spirit denotes the rational part of a person: his mind, his thought, his verbal heartfelt sensations, alien to the nature of animals and cattle, common to human and angelic nature. The soul itself is expressed in the life force; the soul is characterized by desire, or will and energy, or natural anger that does not turn into irritability. We see these properties in animals too. The human spirit of Christ was exercised by prayer and the presentation in human words of the Word of God; the soul of Christ expressed joy, sorrow, anger, languor; The body of Christ was conceived, born, nourished, grew, labored, felt hunger and thirst, rested in sleep, suffered, was crucified and buried, and was resurrected. According to the inseparability of natures, in all cases where human nature appeared as if acting exclusively, the nature of God, acting in accordance with Itself, assisted it inseparably and inseparably, although not fused.
Thus, although man was conceived in the womb of the Virgin, at the very conception he was already God; although man was born of the Virgin, God was born together, grew, ate food, was weary of the journey, was bound in the Garden of Gethsemane, struck on the cheeks, struck on the head with a rod, crowned with thorns, man was crucified, but together God was. Thus, the apostles were eyewitnesses, disciples, messengers of God 40; Judas Iscariot betrayed God; 41 The Jewish bishops and Pilate are deicides; 42 The Ever-Virgin is the Mother of God. Due to the inseparability of natures in one Person, what happened in relation to one nature inevitably applied to the other.
About the fact that by faith the carnal and spiritual mind is destroyed and the spiritual mind is born, see: St. Isaac of Syria. Word 28.
This was conveyed to us by those who from the very beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word (Luke 1:2).
