Christ's Divinity

How would it sound if a lawgiver was to enact, "That all men should honour the angel Gabriel, for instance, with the same honour which they render to God?" We should tremble with horror; we should be overwhelmed with consternation, at the prodigiousness of such impiety. And why? Because the honour due to God is peculiar to God, and cannot, without sacrilege, be transferred to any inferior being. I conclude, therefore, that seeing the Redeemer of sinners lays claim to divine honours, he is and must be a divine person.—Toplady
