The Saviour provides for our needs, for each in a different way. For
those who lack joy, he is the Vine; for those who need to enter, he is
the Door; for those who need to pray, he is the Mediator and the High
Priest. Again, for those who are sinners, he becomes the Sheep to be
slain on their behalf. He becomes 'all things for all men', while
remaining what he is by nature. For while continuing to hold the
unchangeable dignity of the Son, he adapts to our weaknesses like a
skilled doctor or a sympathetic teacher.
- St Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechesis 10.5
