If he was but a mere prophet, we are at a loss to know why so much should be said of his amazing love and compassion. But that he is a divine person, and that all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in him, is evident from the plain, positive, and often repeated declarations of the Bible. Thomas, speaking to Christ, says, "My Lord and my God." And, with the other disciples, he worshiped Christ, and was not forbidden. The apostle says, (Phil. 2: 6), "He thought it not robbery to be equal with God," and in another place, (Rom. 9: 5), "Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever." Again, the apostle John, speaking of Christ, says, (1 John 5: 20), "This is the true God, and eternal life." And the prophet, speaking of the Savior as a "child born unto us," says, "His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
But it was not my design to enter upon the proofs which we have of the divinity of Christ. I would simply say, that the same attributes which are applied to the Father are applied to Christ. The same work -of nature, of providence and of grace. And the same worship is rendered to him. This is not true of any of the prophets mentioned in the Scriptures. The attributes of Jehovah are never applied to a mere man.
