He was baptized as a man, but He remitted sins as God.
He was tempted as a man, but He conquered as God.
He hungered, but fed thousands.
He thirsted, but promised that fountains would flow from those who believe.
He was wearied, but gives rest to those who are heavy laden.
He was heavy with sleep, but He walked lightly over the sea.
He weeps, but He causes tears to cease.
He asks where Lazarus is laid, but raises him from death.
He is sold for a pittance, but redeems the whole world at great price.
As a sheep, He is led to the slaughter, but He is the Good Shepherd of the world.
As a lamb, He is silent, and yet He is the Word of God.
Nailed to the tree, he brings to us the Tree of Life to restore us.
He is given sour wine mixed with gall to drink, He Who turned water into fine wine.
He lays down His life, but has power to take it again.
In death, He gives life.
By His death, He destroys death.
He is buried, but rises again.
Going down into hell, He brings up the souls.
