“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me”
(St. John 14:1).
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From
now on you do know him and have seen him. Philip said to him, Lord, show
us the Father, and we will be satisfied. Jesus said to him, Have I been with
you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen
me has seen the Father ... Do you not believe that I am in the Father and
the Father is in me?” (St. John 14:6-10).
“I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified
in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it” (St. John
14:13-14).
“Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and
we will come to him and make our home with him” (St. John 14:23).
“All that the Father has is mine” (St. John 16:15).
The following points shed more light on the divine attributes of Christ:
Yahweh was called “the God of glory” (Ps. 29 [28]:3); the resurrected
Christ is “Lord of glory” (1 Cor. 2:8).
God is Lord of Lords (Deut. 10:17); Christ is Lord of Lords
(Rev.17:14).
God is the only savior (Is. 43:11); Christ is savior (St. Luke 2:11).
God is the source of living water (Jer. 17:13); Christ is the source of
living water (St. John 4:14).
The Lord’s thoughts cannot be directed (Is. 40:13); so too, no one can
instruct the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16).
