83. He, therefore, Who said, “This is
My Son,” said not, “This is a creature of time,” nor
“This being is of My creation, My making, My servant,” but
“This is My Son, Whom ye see glorified.” This is the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, Who appeared to
Moses in the bush, Ex. iii. 14. concerning Whom
Moses saith, “He Who is hath sent me.” It was not the
Father Who spake to Moses in the bush or in the desert, but the
Son. It was of this Moses that Stephen said, “This is He
Who was in the church, in the wilderness, with the
Angel.” Acts vii. 38. This,
then, is He Who gave the Law, Who spake with Moses, saying, “I am
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.”
This, then, is the God of the patriarchs, this is the God of the
prophets.
