in the same way also the most holy son of the father being the image of the father came to our region to renew man once made in his likeness and find him as one lost by the remission of sins as he says himself in the gospels i came to find and to save the lost whence he said to the jews also except a man be born again not meaning as they thought birth from woman but speaking of the soul born and created anew in the likeness of god's image
but since wild idolatry and godlessness occupied the world and the knowledge of god was hid whose part was it to teach the world concerning the father man's might one say but it was not in man's power to penetrate everywhere beneath the sun for neither had they the physical strength to run so far nor would they be able to claim credence in this matter nor were they sufficient by themselves to withstand the deceit and imposition of evil spirits
for where all were smitten and confused in soul from demoniacal deceit and the vanity of idols how was it possible for them to win over man's soul and man's mind whereas they cannot even see them or how can a man convert what he does not see but perhaps one might say creation was enough but if creation were enough these great evils would never have come to pass for creation was there already and all the same men were grovelling in the same error concerning god
who then was needed save the word of god that sees both soul and mind and that gives movement to all things in creation and by them makes known the father for he who by his own providence and ordering of all things was teaching men concerning the father
He it was that could renew this same teaching as well.
How then could this have been done?
Perhaps one might say that the same means were open as before, for him to show forth the truth about the Father once more by means of the work of creation.
But this was no longer a sure means.
Quite the contrary, for men missed seeing this before, and have turned their eyes no longer upward, but downward.
Whence, naturally, willing to profit men, he sojourns here as man, taking to himself a body like the others, and from things of earth, that is, by the works of his body, he teaches them, so that they who would not know him from his providence and rule over all things, may even from the works done by his actual body know the word of God which is in the body, and through him the Father.
for as a kind teacher who cares for his disciples if some of them cannot profit by higher subjects comes down to their level and teaches them at any rate by simpler courses so also did the word of god as paul also says for seeing that in the wisdom of god the world through its wisdom knew not god it was god's good pleasure through the foolishness of the word preached to save them that believe
for seeing that men having rejected the contemplation of god and with their eyes downward as though sunk in the deep were seeking about for god in nature and in the world of sense feigning gods for themselves of mortal men and demons to this end the loving and general saviour of all the word of god takes to himself a body
and as man walks among men and meets the senses of all men half way to the end i say that they who think that god is corporeal may from what the lord effects by his body perceive the truth and through him recognize the father so men as they were and human in all their thoughts on whatever objects they fixed their senses there they saw themselves met half way and taught the truth from every side
for if they looked with awe upon nature yet they saw how she confessed christ as lord or if their mind was swayed towards men so as to think them gods yet from the saviour's works supposing they compared them the saviour alone among men appeared son of god for there were no such works done among the rest as have been done by the word of god
or if they were biased towards evil spirits even yet seeing them cast out by the word they were to know that he alone the word of god was god and that the spirits were none or if their mind had already sunk even to the dead so as to worship heroes and the gods spoken of in the poets yet seeing the saviour's resurrection they were to confess them to be false gods
and that the lord alone is true the word of the father that was lord even of death for this cause he was both born and appeared as man and died and rose again dulling and casting into the shade the works of all former men by his own that in whatever direction the bias of men might be from thence he might recall them and teach them of his own true father as he himself says i came to save and to find that which was lost
For men's mind, having finally fallen to things of sense, the word disguised himself by appearing in a body, that he might as man transfer men to himself, and centre their senses on himself.
And men, seeing him thenceforth as man, persuade them by the works he did, that he is not man only, but also God, and the word and wisdom of the true God.
this too is what paul means to point out when he says that ye being rooted and grounded in love may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of christ which passeth knowledge that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of
for by the word revealing himself everywhere both above and beneath and in the depth and in the breadth above in the creation beneath in becoming man in the depth in hades and in the breadth in the world all things have been filled with the knowledge of god
