50. By means of this image the Lord showed Philip the Father, saying, “Philip, he that sees Me, sees the Father also. How then dost thou say, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?” S. John xiv. 9–10. Yes, he who looks upon the Son sees, in portrait, the Father. Or “He who beholds the Father in the Son, beholds Him in a portrait.” Mark what manner of portrait is spoken of. It is Truth, Righteousness, the Power of God: Christ the Truth: S. John xiv. 6. Righteousness: Jer. xxxiii. 16; xxiii. 6; 1 Cor. i. 30. Power of God: 1 Cor. i. 24. not dumb, for it is the Word; not insensible, for it is Wisdom; not vain and foolish, for it is Power; not soulless, for it is the Life; not dead, for it is the Resurrection. Christ the Word: S. John i. 1–18. Wisdom: 1 Cor. i. 24, 30. Life and Resurrection: S. John xi. 25. You see, then, that whilst an image is spoken of, the meaning is that it is the Father, Whose image the Son is, seeing that no one can be his own image.
