51. Again, what was the will of the Father, but
that Jesus should come into the world
and cleanse us from our sins? Hear
the words of the leper: “If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me
clean.” S. Matt. viii. 2. Christ
answered, “I will,” and straightway health, the effect,
followed. See you not that the Son is master of His own will, and
Christ’s will is the same as the Father’s. Indeed,
seeing that He hath said, “All things that the Father hath are
Mine,” S. John xvi. 15. nothing of a
certainty being excepted, the Son hath the same will that the Father
hath.
