Master.”  “My brother, go forth to your labours with the spirit and power of Him who first preached the Gospel to the poor.” [50c]

“To Jesus the conqueror of death we owe the sure hope of immortality.” * * *  “Is that teacher to be scorned, who in the language of conscious greatness says to us, ‘I am the resurrection and the life’?” [51a]

“What are we to understand by the Divinity of Christ?  In the sense in which many Christians, and perhaps a majority interpret it, we do not deny it, but believe it as firmly as themselves.  We believe firmly in the Divinity of Christ’s mission and office, that he spoke with Divine authority, and was a bright image of the Divine perfections.  We believe that God dwelt in him, manifested himself through him, taught men by him, and communicated to him his spirit without measure.  We believe that Jesus Christ was the most glorious display, expression, and representative of God to mankind, so that in seeing and knowing him, we see and know the invisible Father; so that when Christ came, God visited the world and dwelt with men more conspicuously than at any former period.  In Christ’s words, we hear God speaking; in his miracles, we behold God acting; in his character and life, we see an unsullied image of God’s purity and love.” [51b]
