Great quote about the humanity and divinity of Jesus
"He ws baptized as man-but He remmited sins as God...He was tempted as man but He conquored as God...He hungered-but he fed thousands...He was wearied, but He is the rest of them that are weary and heavy-laden...He prays but He hears prayer. He weeps, but He causes tears to cease. He asks where Lazarus was laid, for He was man; but He raises Lazarus, fur He was God. He is sold, and very cheap, for it is only for thirty pieces of silver, but He redeems vthe world, and that at a great price, for the price was His own blood...as a sheep He is led to the slaughter, but He is the SPeherd of Israel and now of the whole world also. As a lamb He is silent, yet He is the Word, and is proclaimed by the voice of one crying in the wilderness. He is bruised and wounded, but He heals every disease and very infirmity...He dies, but gives life, and by His death destroys death."

I love this style of human divine contrast. St. John Chrysostom does it, too, in his paschal homily.
