19. In this place he used the word Power,
and implied the Spirit. For as the Father is Power, so, too, the
Son is Power, and the Holy Spirit is Power. Of the Son you have
read that Christ is “the Power of God and the Wisdom of
God.” 1 Cor. i. 24. We read,
too, that the Father is Power, as it is written: “Ye shall
see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power of
God.” S. Matt. xxvi. 64. He
certainly named the Father Power, at Whose right hand the Son sits, as
you read: “The Lord said unto My Lord, Sit Thou on My right
hand.” Ps. cx. [cix.]
1. And the
Lord Himself named the Holy Spirit Power, when He said: “Ye
shall receive Power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon
you.” Acts i. 8.
