Chapter XXXVI.—All blessings are given
to us through Christ.
This is the way, beloved, in which we find our
Saviour,153
| 153 Literally,
“that which saves us.” | even Jesus Christ, the
High Priest of all our offerings, the defender and helper of our
infirmity. By Him we look up to the heights of heaven. By Him we behold,
as in a glass, His immaculate and most excellent visage. By Him are the
eyes of our hearts opened. By Him our foolish and darkened understanding
blossoms154
up anew towards His
marvellous light. By Him the Lord has willed that we should taste of
immortal
knowledge,155
“who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater
than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name
than they.”156
For it is thus written,
“Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of
fire.”157
But concerning His Son158
| 158 Some render, “to the Son.” | the
Lord spoke thus: “Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten Thee. Ask
of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.”159
And again He saith to Him,
“Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy
footstool.”160
But who are His enemies? All the wicked, and those who set
themselves to oppose the will of God.161
| 161 Some read, “who oppose their own will to that of
God.” | E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
