Introduction
Melito of Sardis from the 2nd Century:
Though he [the Son of God] was incorporeal, he formed for himself a body like ours.
He appeared as one of the sheep, yet he remained the Shepherd.
He was esteemed a servant, yet he did not renounce being a Son.
He was carried about in the womb of Mary, yet he was clothed in the nature of his Father.
He walked on the earth, yet he filled heaven.
He appeared as an infant, yet he did not discard his eternal nature.
He was invested with a body, but it did not limit his divinity.
He was esteemed poor, yet he was not divested of his riches.
He needed nourishment because he was man, yet he did not cease to nourish the entire world because he is God.
He put on the likeness of a servant, yet it did not impair the likeness of his Father.
He was everything by his unchangeable nature.
He was standing before Pilate, and at the same time he was sitting with his Father.
He was nailed on a tree, yet he was the Lord of all things.”
