Life Through Death
Unless the Word of God had first assumed our mortal flesh he could not have died for us. Only in that way was the immortal God able to die and to give life to mortal humans.
Therefore, by this double sharing he brought about a wonderful exchange. We made death possible for him, and he made life possible for us.
-- Augustine Sermon 218C, 1
