substantiality, is not of God — is not instructed by the divine Spirit — hath not the truth.
John's opposition to this vagary of the Gnostics intimates or suggests to us that we must be ...careful that we do not, in effect, make Christ a phantom, a poetic vision, a dreamy something, a sublime ideal unrealized in flesh and blood ; a mythological crea- tion, that vanishes at the touch of philosophical criti- cism. We must do nothing to undermine the actual- ity of Jesus, removing him from the proper personal- ities of history, lest in hours of mortal need we find, that where we Want something as palpable as Thomas found when he put his hand into the pierced side of Jesus, we have really but a phantom, whose lips of air melt ere a word drops on our hearing.
