Gen. 3:24). See italicised part of quote below (attributed to St John Chrysostom). <br /><br />"Man went down "from the heavenly state to the state of the devil's deception,and he fell among thieves, that is, the devil and the hostile powers". The wounds which he sustained are the various sins. As David says, "My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness" (Ps.38:5). For "every sin brings bruises and wounds". The Samaritan is Christ Himself, who came down from heaven to earth to heal wounded man. He used wine and oil for the wounds. That is to say, "<i>by mixing the Holy Spirit with his blood, he brought life to man"</i>. (Heirotheos Vlachos, 2005, p.18).<br /><br />Reference: Orthodox PsychotherapyOrthocathfacingeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480693940801847089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832374150223213051.post-83223439718813974272014-02-26T11:20:51.841-08:002014-02-26T11:20:51.841-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Orthocathfacingeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480693940801847089noreply@blogger.com
