The Self-Emptying Transformation Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Self-Emptying Transformation

Rating: 5.0


We not only passively
receive in us the grace of Christ,
but we actively renew
in our own life the self-emptying
and self-transformation
by which God became man.

Just as the Messiah emptied
Himself of His divine
and transcendent nobility
in order to descend
to the level of man,
so we must empty ourselves
of what is human in the ignoble
sense of the word,
in order that we may become God.

(Trying to explain the meaning of „incarnation" in Christian faith.It is God becoming man to save the humanity from sin)
