Patristic Quote of the Day

And so the passage “The Word was made flesh” seems to me to be equivalent to that in which it is said that he was sin or a curse for us; not that the Lord was transformed into either of these—how could he be? But because by taking them upon him he took away our sins and bore our iniquities.—St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Letter 101 on the Apollinarian Controversy.
