St. Ephrem’s Prayer:
“Jesus is Son of man by virtue of being a descendent of Adam and being Mary’s child. Because of his divinity, he is The Christ, The Anointed One; this is the divinity which anoints his humanity, the total presence of The One who consecrates him for who he is.
He is The Way because He himself leads us. He is The Door because he himself takes us into the Kingdom.
He is The Shepherd because he is the one who leads the flock to green pastures and leads this flock to drink refreshing waters; he shows his sheep the way they should go and defends them from wild beasts. He helps the wandering sheep find its way back, and goes and finds the lost lamb; he cures the wounded sheep, keeps well the healthy ones and, thanks to the inspired words that inspire his Shepherd’s wisdom, he gathers his flock in heaven.
He is also The Lamb because he is The Victim. He is The Lamb because he is without blemish. He is the Great Priest because he offers the sacrifice. He is priest according to Melchizedek because he is the King of Salem, King of Peace, King of Justice. These are the names of the Son, Jesus Christ.”
St. Gregory the Theologian (330-390)
