John 10:38

Verse 38

38. Believe the works The blind-born (John 9:35-38) believed the works; therefore his faith was ready to underwrite whatever the author of the works should say of himself.

The Father is in me If Omnipotence energizes my actions, the Omnipotent must pervade my person.

The humanity of Christ is taken into the divinity, enveloped with its dignity, without changing it out of its true human nature. So that the so-called hypostatic union results in perfect man and perfect God in oneness.
