That Life Might Die

Posted on by Olivia Brooke

The Maker of man became Man that He, Ruler of the stars, might be nourished at His mother’s breast; that He, the Bread, might hunger; that He, the Fountain, might thirst; that He, the Light, might sleep; that He, the Way, might be wearied by the journey; that He, the Truth, might be accused by false witnesses; that He, the Judge of the living and the dead, might be brought to trial by a mortal judge; that He, Justice, might be condemned by the unjust; that He, Discipline, might be scourged with whips; that He, the Foundation, might be suspended upon a cross; that Courage might be weakened; that Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.

— Augustine of Hippo, Sermons 191.1

      2. I was so confused that you were able to like the same comment four times… then I realized it wasn’t the same comment. Now I’m amused that you did! It made me smile, haha. 😄

Currently being taught by Jesus how to source all that I do from Him. May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!
