The Lord Jesus Christ also said of His strong relation

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III





The Lord Jesus Christ also said of His strong relation with the Father, in His soliloquy with Him: "And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine" (Jn. 17: 10), and also in chapter 16, verse 15: "All things that the Father has are Mine. " This declaration can never come from a human being because it means entire equality with God the Father. That was the reason for which the Jews wanted to stone Him, because He made Himself equal with God (Jn. 5:18). St. Paul the Apostle says that Christ, "being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God' (Phil. 2:6), which means that He acted as equal with the Father, not considering it robbery, because He is so.
