Den hellige Maximos, biskop av Torino (ca 400) skriver om Jesu d\u00e5p:<\/p>\n
… Det er naturlig at denne festen f\u00f8lger kort tid etter dagen for Herrens f\u00f8dsel – med noen \u00e5rs mellomrom, selvsagt, men p\u00e5 samme tid av \u00e5ret – og jeg mener at ogs\u00e5 denne festen kan kalles for Herrens f\u00f8dsel. Den gang ble han f\u00f8dt p\u00e5 menneskevis, i dag f\u00f8des han p\u00e5 nytt gjennom sakramentene; den gang ble han satt til verden av jomfruen, i dag blir han unnfanget ved mysteriet. Den gang da han ble f\u00f8dt som menneske, beskyttet hans mor Maria ham i sitt skj\u00f8d; n\u00e5 da han unnfanges etter mysteriet, omfavnes han av Gud Faders r\u00f8st som sier: \u201dDette er min S\u00f8nn som jeg har behag i; lytt til ham\u201d. Da han var f\u00f8dt, kj\u00e6rtegnet moren ham p\u00e5 sitt myke fang, n\u00e5 tjener Faderen S\u00f8nnen ved sitt kj\u00e6rlige vitnesbyrd; moren holdt ham opp slik at de vise menn kunne tilbe ham, Faderen \u00e5penbarer ham slik at folkeslagene kan dyrke ham.<\/p>\n
I dag kom alts\u00e5 Herren Jesus for \u00e5 d\u00f8pes; han ville vaske sitt hellige legeme rent i vann. Noen ville kanskje si: \u201dHvorfor ville han d\u00f8pes, han som er hellig?\u201d H\u00f8r da bare! Kristus blir d\u00f8pt, ikke for \u00e5 helliggj\u00f8res av vannet, men for selv \u00e5 helliggj\u00f8re vannet, og for \u00e5 rense det vann han ber\u00f8rer, ved hjelp av sin egen renselse. Kristi innvielse er nemlig enda mer vannets innvielse som element. For n\u00e5r frelseren vaskes, er det allerede alt vann som renses med henblikk p\u00e5 v\u00e5r d\u00e5p. Kilden renses, slik at den senere skal kunne tjene folkeslagene til renselse ved d\u00e5pens n\u00e5de. Kristus g\u00e5r alts\u00e5 f\u00f8rst gjennom d\u00e5pen, slik at de kristne folk tillitsfullt kan f\u00f8lge etter. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
