King Lear · On the Incarnation-Athanasius of Alexandria · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

for those which are coming on baffle the sense of him that attempts it so for him that would take in all the achievements of christ in the body it is impossible to take in the whole even by reckoning them up as those which go beyond his thought are more than those he thinks he has taken in better is it then not to aim at speaking of the whole where one cannot do justice even to a part but after mentioning one more to leave the whole for you to marvel at

for all alike are marvellous and wherever a man turns his glance he may behold on that side the divinity of the word and be struck by exceeding great awe

This then, after what we have so far said, it is right for you to recognize, and to take as the sum of what we have already stated, and to marvel at exceedingly, namely, that since the Saviour has come among us, idolatry not only has no longer increased, but what there was is diminishing and gradually coming to an end, and not only does the wisdom of the Greeks no longer advance, but what there is, is now fading away, and demons, so far from cheating any more by illusions and prophecies and magic arts,

if they so much as dare to make the attempt are put to shame by the sign of the cross and to sum the matter up behold how the saviour's doctrine is everywhere increasing while all idolatry and everything opposed to the faith of christ is daily dwindling and losing power and falling and thus beholding worship the saviour who is above all and mighty even god the word and condemn those who are being worsted and done away by him

for as when the sun is come darkness no longer prevails but if any be still left anywhere it is driven away so now that the divine appearing of the word of god is come the darkness of the idols prevails no more and all parts of the world in every direction are illumined by his teaching

and as when a king is reigning in some country without appearing but keeps it home in his own house often some disorderly persons abusing his retirement proclaim themselves and each of them by assuming the character imposes on the simple as king and so men are led astray by the name hearing that there is a king but not seeing him if for no other reason because they cannot enter the house

but when the real king comes forth and appears then the disorderly impostors are exposed by his presence while men seeing the real king desert those who previously led them astray in like manner the evil spirits formerly used to deceive men investing themselves with god's honour but when the word of god appeared in a body and made known to us his own father then at length the deceit of the evil spirits is done away and stopped while men turning their eyes to the true god word of the father are deserting the idols and now coming to know the true god

now this is a proof that christ is the word of god and the power of god for whereas human things cease and the word of christ abides it is clear to all eyes that what ceases is temporary but that he who abides is god and the true son of god his only begotten word

let this then christ-loving man be our offering to you just for a rudimentary sketch and outline in a short compass of the faith of christ and of his divine appearing to usward but you taking occasion by this if you light upon the text of the scriptures

by genuinely applying your mind to them will learn from them more completely and clearly the exact detail of what we have said for they were spoken and written by god through men who spoke of god but we impart what we have learnt from inspired teachers who have been conversant with them who have also become martyrs for the deity of christ to your zeal for learning in turn

and you will also learn about his second glorious and truly divine appearing to us when no longer in lowliness but in his own glory no longer in humble guise but in his own magnificence he is to come no more to suffer but thenceforth to render to all the fruit of his own cross that is the resurrection and incorruption

and no longer to be judged but to judge all by what each has done in the body whether good or evil where there is laid up for the good the kingdom of heaven but for them that have done evil everlasting fire and outer darkness

For thus the Lord himself also says, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven in the glory of the Father.

And for this very reason there is also a word of the Saviour to prepare us for that day in these words, Be ye ready and watch, for he cometh at an hour ye know not.

For according to the blessed Paul, we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive according as he hath done in the body, whether it be good or bad.

but for the searching of the scriptures and true knowledge of them an honourable life is needed and a pure soul and that virtue which is according to christ so that the intellect guiding its path by it may be able to attain what it desires and to comprehend it in so far as it is accessible to human nature to learn concerning the word of god

for without a pure mind and a modelling of the life after the saints a man could not possibly comprehend the words of the saints for just as if a man wished to see the light of the sun he would at any rate wipe and brighten his eye purifying himself in some sort like what he sees so that the eye thus becoming light may see the light of the sun or as if a man would see a city or country he at any rate comes to the place to see it

thus he that would comprehend the mind of those who speak of god must needs begin by washing and cleansing his soul by his manner of living and approach the saints themselves by imitating their works so that associated with them in the conduct of a common life he may understand also what has been revealed to them by god and thenceforth as closely knit to them may escape the peril of the sinners and their fire at the day of judgment and receive what is laid up for the saints in the kingdom of heaven

which eye saw not, nor ear heard, neither entered into the heart of man, whatsoever things are prepared for them that live a virtuous life and love the God and Father in Christ Jesus our Lord, through whom and with whom, be to the Father himself, with the Son himself, in the Holy Spirit, honour and might and glory for ever and ever.

Amen.
