ACC ~ Acts 7 v10

AUTHORS OF SALVATION. CHRYSOSTOM: See how it demonstrates what Gamaliel said, “If it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy it.” See how the victims of plots became the authors of salvation to those plotting against them; how the word, plotting against itself and itself plotted against by others, was saved for all this. The famine did not destroy them. And not only that, but they were saved through him who was expected to perish. The royal edict did not destroy them. Their number at that time rather increased, because he died, the one who knew them. Their savior they wished to kill, but for all that, they had not the power to do it. Do you see how by the very means the devil tries to break the promise of God, the promise is increased? HOMILIES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 16.

THE SLAVE REIGNS AS A KING. CHRYSOSTOM: Thus even the one who was sold as slave, he makes him reign as a king in the place where he was considered a slave. Just as Christ also in death shows his power, so he reigns there, where they sold him. HOMILIES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 16.
