The Coming of Christ

The only Son of God was to come to earth, to become a man, and in this nature to be born as man. He was to die, to rise again, to ascend to heaven, to sit at the right hand of the Father, and to fulfill his promises among the nations.

After that he was to come again to execute his threats against the wicked and to reward the just as he had promised.

-- Commentary on Psalm 110, 3

Prayer. Lord, we are your little flock; we belong to you. Spread your wings that we may take refuge under them. Be our glory, let us be loved for your sake, and let your word be feared in our midst.

-- Confessions 10, 36
