Easter Vigil
“The text of the Hebrew Exodus has been read and the words of the mystery have been explained; how the sheep was sacrificed for the salvation of the people. For born-Son-like and led forth lamb-like, and slaughtered sheep-like, and buried human-like, he has risen God-like, being by nature God and human. He is all things: in as much as he judges, Law; in as much as he teaches, Word, in as much as he saves, Grace; in as much as he is suffers, sheep; in as much as he is buried, human; in as much as he has risen, God. This is Jesus Christ to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. “
- Melito of Sardis, Second century
