We are told that Christ was only “made”
so far as regards the flesh. For the redemption of mankind He
needed no means of aid, even as He needed none in order to His
Resurrection, whereas others, in order to raise the dead, had need of
recourse to prayer. Even when Christ prayed, the prayer was
offered by Him in His capacity as human; whilst He must be accounted
divine from the fact that He commanded (that such and such
things should be done). On this point the devil’s testimony
is truer than the Arians’ arguments. The discussion
concludes with an explanation of the reason why the title of
“mighty” is given to the Son of Man.
