To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rule then is, that, in all that is said in Scrip- ture of our Lord, or of any type of Him, the full and highest meaning of the words is true of Him without hyperbole, although lower and partial meanings may very often be true also. For in- stance, when He said to the Jews, that He and His Father were One, there was a lower sense in which this was true of Him even as a prophet ; and thus our Lord actually appeals to the Scrip- tures, to show that similar high expressions had been there used ...to those who had received God's word, and declared it again to man. But it would be very wrong to rest in this lower sense of the words only; take them in their literal sense, follow them to a height where they become lost to man's conceptions, in the utmost, and much more than 216 CHRIST'S DIVINITY.
the utmost human conception of unity, it is true that Christ and the Father are One.
That St. John so understood the expressions which he has recorded of our Lord is absolutely certain. " Before Abraham was, I am, " is an ex- pression which is true to the letter of Him who was in the beginning, who was with God and was God.
