The Incarnation

Jesus is God

"The incarnation of the Word and His assumption of human nature took place for the overthrow of death, destruction and the envy harbored against us by the wicked Serpent, who was the first cause of evil. This plainly is proved to us by facts themselves. He set free the daughter of Abraham from her protracted sickness, calling out and saying, "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity." A speech most worthy of God, and full of supernatural power! With the royal inclination of his will, He drives away the disease. He also lays His hands upon her. It says that she immediately was made straight. It is now also possible to see that His holy flesh bore in it the power and activity of God. It was His own flesh, and not that of some other Son beside Him, distinct and separate from Him, as some most impiously imagine." -- St. Cyril of AlexandriaCommentary on Luke, Homily 96
