`Thy will be done in earth,
`Ye serve the Lord Christ'
(Col. 3:24).
`Ye call Me (Christ) Master
and Lord: and ye say well; for
so I am' (John 13:13).

`Give us this day our daily bread.

`And forgive us our debts, as we

do ye' (Col. 3:13).
`The Son of man hath power
on earth to forgive sins' (Mark

Again we perceive how closely the parallel continues. How this `witness of God concerning His Son' should
cause us to hesitate to say one word that would lower the glory, or supremacy, accorded to the Saviour. There is
much more evidence in the Word, however, and as our primary object is to demonstrate the fact that the Scriptures
give equal honour to the Son as to the Father, we will append some more instances:
GOD ABSOLUTE

`I, even I, am He that blotteth out
`The blood of Jesus Christ His
thy transgressions for Mine own
Son cleanseth us from all sin'
sake' (Isa. 43:25).
(1 John 1:7).
`When He had by Himself
purged our sins' (Heb. 1:3).
`Blotting out the handwriting
... which was contrary to us ...
nailing it to His cross' (Col.
2:14).
