Chapter 36: All Blessings are Granted to Us Through Christ.

THIS IS THE WAY: beloved, in which we find our Savior, even Jesus Christ, the High Priest of all our offerings, the defender and helper of our weakness. By Him we look up to the heights of heaven. By Him we see, as in a mirror, His immaculate and most excellent face. By Him the eyes of our hearts are opened. By Him our foolish and darkened understanding blossoms anew towards His marvelous light. By Him the Lord has willed that we should taste immortal knowledge, "who, being the brightness of His majesty, is so much greater than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." For it is written, "He makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: "You are my Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the heathen for Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession." And again He says to Him, "Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool." But who are His enemies? All the wicked, and those who set themselves to oppose the will of God.
