“I and My Father Are One.”
THE translation given by the American Bible Union describes those who stand on the Mount Zion with the Lamb as “having his name and the name of the Father written on their foreheads.” If this is a correct rendering, it harmonizes well with the fact that those who embrace the last message honor both the Father and the Son by keeping the “commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” All should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. “He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent him.” And it is equally true that he that honoreth not the Father honoreth not the Son. The Jews do not honor the Father while they refuse to believe on the Son; neither do Christians honor the Son while they refuse to keep the Father’s commandments. It is vain to talk of honoring the work of redemption, by taking away the memorial of creation. In creation and redemption the Son and the Father are one.
