Patristic Quote of the Day

So, too, Paul says about Christ that, since He was free by nature and a genuine Son, He did not, as if He had taken something by robbery, hide His equality but willingly took on the form of a bondservant. For He knew and was fully convinced that this action would not harm His glory in any way. He was not a usurper, nor did He grasp at equality. Equality was His from the beginning, not something acquired and then relinquished, but something immovable and secure. Thus, He remained in the same glory He had as a Son in relation to the Father.—St. John Chrysostom, Homily on Christ’s Prayers
