24. Lest you should regard this argument as mere speculation take this sentence of authority. “No man,” saith the Scripture, S. John i. 18. “hath seen God at any time, save the Only-begotten Son, Who is in the bosom of the Father; He hath revealed Him.” Greek ἐξηγήσατο, “explained,” “expounded.” The Incarnation has taught us something about God and about man that we never knew before and never could have known by ourselves. How can the Father be in solitude, if the Son be in the bosom of the Father? How doth the Son reveal Him, Whom He seeth not? The Father, then, exists not alone.
