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

For being over all, the word of God naturally, by offering his own temple and corporeal instrument for the life of all, satisfied the debt by his death.

And thus he, the incorruptible Son of God, being conjoined with all by a like nature, naturally clothed all with incorruption by the promise of the resurrection.

For the actual corruption in death has no longer holding ground against men by reason of the word, which by his one body has come to dwell among them.

and like as when a great king has entered into some large city and taken up his abode in one of the houses there such city is at all events held worthy of high honour nor does any enemy or bandit any longer descend upon it and subject it but on the contrary it is thought entitled to all care because of the king's having taken up his residence in a single house there

so too has it been with the monarch of all for now that he has come to our realm and taken up his abode in one body among his peers henceforth the whole conspiracy of the enemy against mankind is checked and the corruption of death which before was prevailing against them is done away for the race of men had gone to ruin had not the lord and saviour of all the son of god come among us to meet the end of death

now in truth this great work was peculiarly suited to god's goodness for if a king having formed a house or city if it be beset by bandits from the carelessness of its inmates does not by any means neglect it but avenges and reclaims it as his own work having regard not to the carelessness of the inhabitants but to what beseems himself

much more did the word of god the all-good father not neglect the race of men his work going to corruption but while he blotted out the death which had ensued by the offering of his own body he corrected their neglect by his own teaching restoring all that was man's by his own power

and of this one may be assured at the hands of the saviour's own inspired writers if one happen upon their writings where they say for the love of christ constraineth us because we thus judge that if one died for all then all died that he died for all that we should no longer live unto ourselves but unto him who for our sakes died and rose again our lord jesus christ

and again but we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels even jesus because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour that by the grace of god he should taste of death for every man

then he also points out the reason why it was necessary for none other than god the word himself to become incarnate as follows for it became him from whom are all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering

by which words he means that it belonged to none other to bring man back from the corruption which had begun than the word of god who had also made them from the beginning and that it was in order to the sacrifice for bodies such as his own that the word himself also assumed a body to this also they refer in these words forasmuch then as the children are the sharers in blood and flesh

he also himself in like manner partook of the same that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death that is the devil and might deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage for by the sacrifice of his own body he both put an end to the law which was against us and made a new beginning of life for us by the hope of resurrection which he has given us

For since from man it was that death prevailed over men.

For this cause, conversely, by the word of God being made man, has come about the destruction of death and the resurrection of life.

As the man which bore Christ saith, For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive, and so forth.

for no longer now do we die as subject to condemnation, but as men who rise from the dead we await the general resurrection of all, which in its own time he shall show even God who has also wrought it and bestowed it upon us.

This, then, is the first cause of the Saviour's being made man, but one might see from the following reasons also that his gracious coming amongst us was fitting to have taken place.

god who has the power over all things when he was making the race of men through his own word seeing the weakness of their nature that it was not sufficient of itself to know its maker nor to get any idea at all of god because while he was uncreate the creatures had been made of naught and while he was incorporeal men had been fashioned in a lower way in the body and because in every way the things made fell far short of being able to comprehend and know their maker

taking pity i say on the race of men inasmuch as he is good he did not leave them destitute of the knowledge of himself lest they should find no profit in existing at all for what profit to the creatures if they knew not their maker or how could they be rational without knowing the word and reason of the father in whom they received their very being
