135. Why is it that you recount “with
insistence” and in such sincere language, Christ’s raising
the dead to life, walking upon the waters, healing the sicknesses of
men? These powers, indeed, He has given to His bondmen to display
as well as Himself. They do the more arouse my wonder when seen
present in men, forasmuch as God hath given them power so great.
I would hear somewhat concerning Christ that is His distinctly and
peculiarly, and cannot be held in common with Him by created beings,
now that He is begotten, the only Son of God, very God of very God,
sitting at the Father’s right hand.
