XXIV. David ad eamdem rem

XXIV. David ad eamdem rem

He set up his dwelling place in the sun, and he himself, like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, rejoiced to run his course like a giant. From the highest heavens comes forth his rising and his presence reaches to the ends of the earth; and there is no one who can hide from his heat. Such a sense is. The Son of God took on flesh from the Virgin in the brightness of His divine glory, which serves as a tabernacle for the salvation and restoration of another life, that of the human race. For God is called the burning sun, who illuminates all that is dark when He created the world; from whose warmth, like a tabernacle, the flesh of the Virgin burned, so that man came forth with a more splendid faith and a more ardent love from her, than when God joined Adam and Eve before the fall. God Himself created a strong man and a weak woman, whose weakness brought forth a flaw. And the divine nature is strong, but the flesh of the Son of God is weak, through which the world is restored to its former life. Indeed, this flesh is immaculate and inviolable, just as a bridegroom emerges from a virgin womb; for this reason, he also acted in this way, just as a bridegroom joyfully receives his bride in the chamber of his heart, when he generously gives her all his wealth and honor. Then the same Son of God rejoiced, and in the height of His Divinity, like a giant, He had this in His joy: that neither fear nor doubt was in Him, that no victor could obstruct His paths, but that He would run swiftly to show salvation to the people through the way of truth. Did the highest God’s coming forth, when He went out from the Father, bow down to the earth, so that as a man made, the only Son in power, the only Son in work, the only Son in liberation, He is above all? Therefore, even when He returned fully to His Father with the same flesh and all His works, He ascended bodily to heaven in great miracles. No one can escape the heat of His Divinity, for He, the Word of the Father, created all things, and by taking on flesh, He freed humanity in the flesh; therefore, He will judge all things with just judgment, namely, the enemy with the greatest, the last with the first, because through Him all things came into being.
