In the Light of Christ

…His resurrection and ascension are the resurrection and ascension of our human nature; and not just of our human nature, but of everyone who believes in Christ and shows his faith in works. Christ was unbegotten and uncreated according to His divinity, and it was for our sake that He became man. He lived as he did because of us, teaching us the path that leads back to true life. Everything He suffered in the flesh, he suffered for us to heal our passions. On account of our sins He was led to death, and for us He rose and ascended, preparing our own resurrection and ascension for unending eternity.
