ACC ~ Luke 15 v1 - 2

TO SAVE PUBLICANS AND SINNERS

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: Tell me, O Pharisee, why do you grumble because Christ did not scorn to be with publicans and sinners, but purposely provided for them this means of salvation? To save people, he yielded himself to emptiness, became like us, and clothed himself in human poverty. COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 106. [1]
