hardly attempt to doubt the proper divinity of Christ.
How much must this person be superior to men! They are brought into

If Jesus Christ were not equal with the Father, could he have claimed
this equality of power without being guilty of impiety and blasphemy?
Surely not. And does he not in the fullest manner assert his Godhead, and
his equality with the Father, by claiming and possessing all the authority
in heaven and earth?
"There am I in the midst." None but God could say these words, to say
them with truth; because God alone is everywhere present, and these
words refer to his omnipresence. Wherever—suppose millions of
assemblies were collected in the same moment in different places of the
creation, (which is a very possible case,) this promise states that Jesus is
in each of them. Can any, therefore, say these words except that God who
fills both heaven and earth? But Jesus says these words: ergo—Jesus is
God.
How correct is the foreknowledge of Jesus Christ! Even the minutest

To worship any creature is idolatry: Christ is to be honoured even as
the Father is honoured; therefore Christ is not a creature; and if not a
creature, consequently the Creator.
Jesus Christ can be no creature, else the angels who worship him must
be guilty of idolatry, and God the author of that idolatry, who commanded
those angels to worship Christ. Take Deity away from any redeeming act
of Christ, and redemption is ruined.
