AUGUSTINIAN BULLETIN BOARD - December 2001
The Word took up our grass in order to make us into gold
The Word of God took up our grass in order to make us into gold. The Word of God, you see, which abides forever, did not consider it beneath him to be for a time grass; not in order to change the Word itself, but to bestow on the grass a change for the better. Yes, The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us; and as the Lord, he suffered for us and was buried, and rose again and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, no longer grass but now gold, undestroyed and indestructible.
