God Put to Death
He
that hung up the earth in space was Himself hanged up; He that fixed the
heavens was fixed with nails; He that bore up the earth was born up on a tree;
the Lord of all was subjected to ignominy in a naked body—God put to death!...
In order that He might not be seen, the luminaries turned away, and the day
became darkened—because they slew God, who hung naked on the tree...This is He
who made the heaven and the earth, and in the beginning, together with the
Father, fashioned man; who was announced by means of the law and the prophets;
who put on a bodily form in the Virgin; who was hanged upon the tree; who was
buried in the earth; who rose from the place of the dead, and ascended to the
height of heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. God Put to Death
Melito of Sardis
