Father accepts the economy; the day unknown humanly, known as God

…in favor with God and humans. There is nothing unfitting if the Father himself also accepted the economy, and if the Son himself appropriated what belongs to the flesh, because of what is both fitting and useful for the mystery.

“But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son, but only the Father.” You have learned to confess one Christ, the Word of God made flesh — that is, become human. How then did he not know the day of the consummation? We say that for the creation not to know the mysteries in God is neither unusual nor otherwise unfitting: “For who has known the mind of the Lord?” according to what is written. And if the Son is said to have been made a little lower than angels — clearly insofar as he became human, though he is beyond all creation in a divine way — what wonder if he is also said, together with the angels, not to know the mystery in God, though he is the Father’s wisdom and power? Then how would the Father’s wisdom not know what is hidden in him? And if the Spirit is said to “search all things, even the depths of God,” and the Spirit is Christ’s, how would he himself not know what his Spirit knows exactly? So even if he is said not to know in a human way, yet he knows in a divine way. And so, asking “Where have you laid Lazarus?” as if it were possible for him not to know according to the human, he worked in a divine way, raising him from the dead. Therefore, assigning the human things to the economy with flesh, let us also keep piously for the Word born from God who has come to be according to us the things that befit God.
