X (9) | "As fellow workers of the loving Christ's Spirit,
the holy men of God bear, by the grace of Christ, human sinful
weaknesses & humiliations as if they were themselves liable to
spiritual foolishness. According to such heroism of faith & love,
the grace of God does not abandon men who freely give themselves to
these dishonoring weaknesses & silliness, but meekly &
patiently He brings them to the path of Truth. Ordinary men pass
gradually from their childish mind into the life of sane intelligence
because these others, in their gracious love offer themselves to the
hard death of frank madness in the eyes of men. Such is the mystery
& significance of foolishness for Christ's sake." |
X (10) | The heavenly Father uttered His hypostatic or personal Word &
all came into being; but uttering His thought & His will about the
existence of creation, He, at the same time, was determining for His
own personal Word or Son to take upon him the burden of all - already
foreseen - sinful disorders of the world. God the Word was mightily
creating according to the thought of His Father but already He was
dooming Himself to the immeasurable self-sacrifice in order to keep
this new created world in the meaning & designation given to it --
even in spite of the foreseen infidelity of the world to its meaning
& designation. A. M. Bukharev (on Job) |
