"Hearers of the Holy Gospels, let us listen to John the Divine. For he
who said, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God' (John 1:1), went on to say. 'and the Word was made
flesh' (John 1:14). For neither is it holy to worship the mere man, nor
religious to say that He is God only without the Manhood. For if Christ
is God, as indeed He is, but took not human nature upon Him, we are
strangers to salvation. Let us then worship Him as God, but believe that
He was also made Man. For neither is there any profit in calling Him man
without Godhead, nor any salvation in refusing to confess the Manhood
together with the Godhead. Let us confess the presence of Him who is
both King and Physician. For Jesus the King when about to become our
Physician, 'girded Himself with the linen' of humanity (John 13:4), and
healed that which was sick. The perfect Teacher of babes became a babe
among babes, that He might give wisdom to the foolish. The Bread of
heaven came down on earth that He might feed the hungry."

St. Cyril of Jerusalem.

"A fool despises his father's instruction, But he who receives
correction is prudent." Proverbs 15:5

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
