If. do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

The passage just quoted from their law showed that those who did the work assigned to them by God were recognized, as in some sense, partakers of the divine nature. Christ, therefore, points to his own works as. test. If he does the works of the Father, then they should recognize in him the Sonship. He refers not to his miracles alone, but to his whole life, the effects of his ministry, and the divine mercy as well as power in his miracles. These works, of which they had ample knowledge, proved that "the Father was in him, and he in the Father." If they had prejudices against his person, they ought to consider the works without prejudice.

The Father in me, and. in him.

The Father is in the Son because he lives and moves in him; is the divine life that animates and controls the man Jesus; he is in the Father because. full partaker of the divine nature, filled with the divine will, purposes and desires, and animated by the one thought of doing the Father's work.
