John Gossner's Treasury
Thou art my Son; this day (from eternity) have I begotten thee. Psalms 2:7. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way. Psalms 2:12. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. John 3:35. But unto the Son God saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. He upholdeth all things by the word of his power. Hebrews 1:8-10; Hebrews 1:3.
A Christian can not think nor believe too highly of Christ. God and Christ must to him be names that mean the same. What we read of God in the Bible, what we see of Him in nature, what we anticipate of Him, and what we need from Him in our heart: it all concerns the Son as well as the Father. They are one, as Christ Himself has said (John 10:30). Never think, speak or believe otherwise of Christ than of the Father. Do not separate them. They are forever inseparable. Worship the Son, otherwise you do not worship the Father; for the Father will be worshipped in the Son and with the Son only. If you think of Jesus without thinking of the Father, or if you separate the Divinity from the Son, then you have made Divinity unapproachable to you then you have no God (2 John 1:9). Christ has laid the foundation of heaven and earth, and He upholds them by His omnipotence. "Kiss the Son;" that is, honor Him, worship Him as your God and Lord. Love Him as your Savior and Rescuer, lest He as the Judge become angry with you, and you fall into His hands when He comes to judge the world with fire.
To the great One in Three
Eternal praises be,
Hence evermore!
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see.
And to eternity
Love and adore.
