The Basis for this Zine
"Christ came to the earth only as the representative of the Father.
"Whoever saw Christ, saw the Father also.
John 14:9
"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?"
"The works which Christ did, were the works of the Father, who dwelt in him.
John 14:10
"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
"Even the words which he spoke, were the words of the Father.
John.14.24
"He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me."
"When we hear Christ saying, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' [Matthew 11:28]; we are listening to the gracious invitation of God the Father.
"When we see Christ taking the little children up in his arms, and blessing them, we are witnessing the tenderness of the Father.
"When we see Christ receiving sinners, mingling with them, and eating with them, forgiving their sins, and cleansing the hideous lepers with a touch, we are looking upon the condescension and compassion of the Father.
"Even when we see our Lord upon the cross, with the blood streaming from his side, that blood by which we are reconciled to God, we must not forget that "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself ' (2 Corinthians 5:19);
"So that the apostle Paul said, "the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Acts 20:28."
