Patristic Quote of the Day

Wherefore he again cried out, saying, Behold the Lamb of God, which bears the sin of the world. He did not say, which remits, but, that which implies a more guardian care, which bears it. For it is not all one, simply to remit, and to take it upon Himself. For the one was to be done without peril, the other with death. -- St. John Chrysostom, Homily 11 on Matthew
