50. What indeed is there that the Father
will have, but the Son will not, or that the Son will have, but the
Father will not? “The Father quickeneth whom He
will,” and the Son quickeneth whom He will, even as it is
written. S. John v. 21. Tell me
now whom the Son hath quickened, and the Father would not
quicken. Since, however, the Son quickeneth whom He will, and the
action [of Father and Son] is one, you see that not only doeth the Son
the Father’s will, but the Father also doeth the
Son’s. For what is quickening but quickening through the
passion of Christ? But the passion of Christ is the
Father’s will. Whom, therefore, the Son quickeneth, He
quickeneth by the will of the Father; therefore their will is
one.
