"I worship Him clothed in the flesh, not as if it were a garment - TopicsExpress



          

"I worship Him clothed in the flesh, not as if it were a garment or He constituted a fourth person of the Trinity - God forbid. That flesh is divine, and endures after its assumption. Human nature was not lost in the Godhead, but just as the Word made flesh remained the Word, so flesh became the Word remaining flesh, becoming, rather, one with the Word through union. Therefore I venture to draw an image of the invisible God, not as invisible, but as having become visible for our sakes through flesh." St. John of Damascus on Holy Images ccel.org/ccel/damascus/icons.i.iv.html Prompting thoughts on what worship is. Overall a great read including extensive scriptural exegesis.
