103. Wilt thou know how free? “I am become as a man that hath no help, free among the dead.” Ps. lxxxviii. [lxxxvii.] 4, 5. And well is He called free, Who had power to raise Himself, according to that which is written: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” S. John ii. 19. And well is He called free, Who had descended to rescue others. For He was made as a man, not, indeed, in appearance only, but so fashioned in truth, for He is man, and who shall know Him? For, “being made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death,” Phil. ii. 7, 8. in order that through that obedience we might see His glory, “the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father,” S. John i. 14. according to Saint John. For thus is the statement of Scripture preserved, if both the glory of the Only-begotten and the nature of perfect man are preserved in Christ.
