Going Out To Him

Τοὶνυν ἐξερχώμεθα πρὸς αὐτὸν, κ.τ.λ. Φέρωμεν τοίνυν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ, τουτέστι τόν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν σταυρόν. Οὕτω καὶ αὐτὸς ἔφη· Ὂς οὐ λαμβάνει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθεῖ ὀπισω μου, οὐκ ἔστι μου ἄξιος· Τὸ δὲ ἔξω τῆς πύλης, ἔξω τοῦ κόσμου νοεῖν ἔοικε. Ζωῆς γὰρ ἡμᾶς ἐξίστησι κοσμικῆς τὸ θέλειν ἔπεσθαι τῷ Χρσιτῷ. Ἅγιος Κύριλλος Ἀλεξανδρείας,Εἰς τὴν πρὸς Ἑβραίους Ἐπιστολὴν, Ἐκλογαι Source: Migne PG 74.1000c

Thus let us go out to Him... 1 Let us, then, bear His disgrace, that is, the cross on which He suffered for us. So He Himself said, 'He who does not take up his cross and follow after me, he is not worthy of me.' 2 Then, 'outside the gate,' seems to mean outside the world. For the wish to follow Christ draws us out of a worldly life. Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary On The Letter to Hebrews, Fragment 1 Heb 13.13 2 Mt 10.38
