ANECDOTES AND MISCELLANIES.
"All mine are thine, and thine are mine ;" thus all the
Divinity of the Father is in the Son, and all the Humanity of
the Son is in the Father.
From which it follows that in the Lord God and Saviour,
God is Man, and Man is God. Consequently that God the
Father assumed the Humanity, and thus that the Lord God
is the Saviour, and also the Father.
That the Father is the Saviour, appears from Isaiah, "Thou
art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel
acknowledge us not : Thou, O Jehovah, art our Father, our
Redeemer: Thy name is from everlasting." And again in
Isaiah, " Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given ; and
His name is God, Hero, Father of Eternity." And in the
Lord’s prayer we read, "Father in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name, Thy kingdom come," i. e. God and Father, hallowed
be Thy humanity, and thus let Thy kingdom come.
That the humanity is meant by the name of the Father,
appears from these words of the Lord, "Father, glorify Thy
name," i. e. Thy Humanity, and thus, and not otherwise, Thy
kingdom shall come.
By a name in heaven nothing else is meant than the
quality of any one ; wherefore all are named there according
to their quality, quite differently from what is done in the
natural world. And the quality of God the Father is in His
Humanity ; otherwise no one would know the quality of Di
vinity, because it is infinite.
That this is so appears from these words of the Lord,
"All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me," and "from
henceforth ye know the Father, and have seen Him."
Every man can say the same thing of his own soul and
his own body, "All thine shall come to me ; all mine are thine,
all thine are mine ; we are one ; he who sees me, sees thee,"
and so forth. If man as to his body is called father, he is
the father also as to his soul.
For in the Lord, God and Man, or the Divine and the
Human nature, are as one person, as the soul and body are
one man, according to the doctrine which from the Athan
asian creed has been received throughout the whole of
Christendom.
