Commentary on 1 Peter

Nicetas of Remesiana

If the angels desire to look upon him, should not human beings be all the more afraid to despise him?

Christ did not suffer in his divinity but in his flesh. God can never suffer. Christ suffered in the flesh, as the apostle teaches, so that from his wounds might flow salvation to humanity. This was foretold by the prophet Isaiah: Christ suffered for our sins so that grace might be given to us.
