Become like Christ, since Christ has become like us… He has become inferior to make us superior; He has become poor to enrich us by His poverty; He has taken the condition of slave to procure freedom for us; He has come on earth to bring us to heaven; He has been tempted to see us triumph; He has been dishonored to cover us with glory; He has died to save us; He has ascended to heaven to draw us to Himself; we who lie prostrate because of falling into sin.
-- Gregory of Nazianzus from the “Sermon I: On Easter” in “The Paschal Mystery”
