153 Christ’s Identity Is God Himself
I
Since God becomes flesh, He does His work
with the identity of His flesh;
since He comes in the flesh, He then finishes in the flesh
the work He ought to do.
Be it the Spirit of God or be it Christ, both are God Himself;
He does the work He should do
and performs the ministry that He ought to perform.
No matter how He does His work,
He wouldn’t ever rebel against God.
No matter what He asks of humans,
no demand exceeds that which is attainable by man.
All He does is that which follows the will of God
and it is for the sake of His management,
and it is for the sake of His management.
II
The divinity of Christ is above all men;
so He’s the highest authority among creation.
This authority is His divinity, that is, God’s disposition and being,
which determines His identity.
Therefore, no matter how normal His humanity,
it’s undeniable that He has God’s identity;
no matter from which standpoint He is speaking
and howsoever He submits to the will of God,
it cannot be said that He is not God Himself.
