ألكسندروس أسقف الإسكندرية: “I and My - TopicsExpress



          

ألكسندروس أسقف الإسكندرية: “I and My Father are one,”29 which indeed the Lord says, not as proclaiming Himself to be the Father, nor to demonstrate that two persons are one; but that the Son of the Father most exactly preserves the expressed likeness of the Father, inasmuch as He has by nature impressed upon Him His similitude in every respect, and is the image of the Father in no way discrepant, and the expressed figure of the primitive exemplar. Whence, also, to Philip, who then was desirous to see Him, the Lord shows this abundantly. For when he said, “Show us the Father,”30 He answered: “He that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father,” since the Father was Himself seen through the spotless and living mirror of the divine image.Similar to which is what the saints say in the Psalms: “In Thy light shall we see light.”31 Wherefore he that honoureth the Son, honoureth the Father also; ”32 and with reason, for every impious word which they dare to speak against the Son, has reference to the Father.
