Top Highlights
“which so come every year that they cannot be other than they are:2 the order which we had undertaken is of necessity” (Page 459)
“What is the meaning of this, ‘If any man be willing to do His will’? But I had said, if any man believe; and I gave this counsel: If thou hast not understood, said I, believe. For understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore do not seek to understand in order to believe, but believe that thou mayest understand; since, ‘except ye believe, ye shall not understand.’” (Page 184)
“Wherefore, the Lord, about to give the Holy Spirit, said that Himself was the bread that came down from heaven, exhorting us to believe on Him. For to believe on Him is to eat the living bread. He that believes eats; he is sated invisibly, because invisibly is he born again. A babe within, a new man within. Where he is made new, there he is satisfied with food.” (Page 168)
“Hear the voice of John, ‘Comest Thou to me? I have need to be baptized of Thee.’ Behold, already he knew the Lord, by whom He wishes to be baptized.” (Page 30)
“Abide in me, and I in you.’ They are not in Him in the same kind of way that He is in them. And yet both ways tend to their advantage, and not to His. For the relation of the branches to the vine is such that they contribute nothing to the vine, but from it derive their own means of life; while that of the vine to the branches is such that it supplies their vital nourishment, and receives nothing from them. And so their having Christ abiding in them, and abiding themselves in Christ, are in both respects advantageous, not to Christ, but to the disciples. For when the branch is cut off, another may spring up from the living root; but that which is cut off cannot live apart from the root.” (Page 345)
