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

for to this end he went upon the sea also as its master, and walked as on dry land, to afford evidence to them that saw it of his lordship over all things.

And in feeding so vast a multitude on little, and of his own self yielding abundance where none was, so that from five loaves five thousand had enough, and left so much again over, did he show himself to be any other than the very lord whose providence is over all things.

But, all this it seemed well for the Saviour to do, that since men had failed to know his providence, revealed in the universe, and had failed to perceive his Godhead shown in creation, they might at any rate from the works of his body recover their sight, and through him receive an idea of the knowledge of the Father, inferring, as I said before, from particular cases, his providence over the whole.

for who that saw his power over evil spirits or who that saw the evil spirits confess that he was their lord will hold his mind any longer in doubt whether this be the son and wisdom and power of god for he made even the creation break silence in that even at his death

marvellous to relate or rather at his actual trophy over death the cross i mean all creation was confessing that he that was made manifest and suffered in the body was not man merely but the son of god and saviour of all

for the sun hid his face, and the earth quaked, and the mountains were rent, all men were awed.

Now these things showed that Christ on the cross was God, while all creation was his slave, and was witnessing by its fear to its master's presence.

Thus then God the Word showed himself to men by his works.

But our next step must be to recount and speak of the end of his bodily life and course, and of the nature of the death of his body.

especially as this is the sum of our faith and all men without exception are full of it so that you may know that no whit the less from this also christ is known to be god and the son of god end of section

of On the Incarnation by Athanasius of Alexandria, translated by Archibald Robertson.

we have then now stated in part as far as it was possible and as ourselves had been able to understand the reason of his bodily appearing that it was in the power of none other to turn the corruptible to incorruption except the saviour himself

that had at the beginning also made all things out of naught and that none other could create anew the likeness of god's image for men save the image of the father and that none other could render the mortal immortal save our lord jesus christ who is the very life and that none other could teach men of the father and destroy the worship of idols save the word that orders all things and is alone the true only-begotten son of the father

but since it was necessary also that the debt owing from all should be paid again for as i have already said it was owing that all should die for which especial cause indeed he came among us to this intent after the proofs of his godhead from his works he next offered up his sacrifice also on behalf of all yielding his temple to death in the stead of all in order firstly to make men quit and free of their old trespass

and further to show himself more powerful even than death displaying his own body incorruptible as first-fruits of the resurrection of all and do not be surprised if we frequently repeat the same words on the same subject for since we are speaking of the counsel of god therefore we expound the same sense in more than one form lest we should seem to be leaving anything out and incur the charge of inadequate treatment

for it is better to submit to the blame of repetition than to leave out anything that ought to be set down.

the body then as sharing the same nature with all for it was a human body though by an unparalleled miracle it was formed of a virgin only yet being mortal was to die also conformably to its peers but by virtue of the union of the word with it it was no longer subject to corruption according to its own nature but by reason of the word that was come to dwell in it it was placed out of the reach of corruption

and so it was that two marvels came to pass at once that the death of all was accomplished in the lord's body and that death and corruption were wholly done away by reason of the word that was united with it for there was need of death and death must needs be suffered on behalf of all that the debt owing from all might be paid

whence as i said before the word since it was not possible for him to die as he was immortal took to himself a body such as could die that he might offer it as his own in the stead of all and as suffering through his union with it on behalf of all 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
