Divinity of Christ

Two gentlemen were once disputing on the divinity of Christ. One of them, who argued against it, said, "If it were true, it certainly would have been expressed in more clear and unequivocal terms."

"Well," said the other, "admitting that you believed it, were authorized to teach it, and allowed to use your own language, how would you express ths doctrine to make it indubitable?"

"I would say," replied the first, "that Jesus Christ is the true God."

"You are very happy," rejoined the other, "in the choice of your words; for you have happened to hit upon the very words of inspiration. St. John, speaking of the Son, says, 'This is the true God, and eternal life.'"
