Redeeming The Time

The weekend before the celebration of the Nativity of the Savior, of course, Fr. Seraphim Holland speaks about the Incarnation. God does things differently than us. He reacts to sin and pride and all the rest differently than we do. Today, we read a psalm that had the phrase “render the proud their due.” We have a terrible phrase, that says “I hope he gets what’s coming to him.” God also wants us to get what’s coming to us, according to His desire. Therefore, Jesus became the God-man, to render the proud their due, that is that we would learn to be humble said we can become perfect and know Him. The psalm later mentions how He does this. Therefore, although it might not appear to be, this Psalm in a spiritual way is about the Incarnation.
