No. 2 | Orthodox Christian Art PosterFor since the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise partook of the same (Heb 2. 14), that having been made partakers of His presence in the flesh we might be made partakers also of His Divine grace: thus Jesus was baptized, that thereby we again by our participation might receive both salvation and honour.

For in this hope we were saved

you can be a slave of passions
